Description

Location is everything & the convenience of this home can not be beat. Just outside the city limits, you will find this immaculately cared for brick ranch. Pull into the driveway & feel the instant charm of this adorable home. Around back park under the double carport and walk right into your new home-no need to ever get wet getting into your home again. Walk in and be stunned by the warmth of this cozy yet very large den. It just calls you to snuggle up with a book or relax with a crackling fire (gas logs). The large laundry room offers tons of storage and an office area. The kitchen and bathrooms have recently been updated. The home has beautiful original hardwood floors in the living room which could also serve as a bonus room instead of a second living area. Outside there is a patio area for entertaining, & two wired workshop areas. Other updates include a new roof and HVAC system (complete with all new duct work) both installed this year. At almost 2000 Sq Ft, this is a must see.
