Description

56 Otter Street: A Rare Ranch Retreat on the edge of the City!
Here’s your chance to own a piece of peaceful living—just inside the city limits. Located on a quiet looped street this sprawling 1977 ranch has been lovingly maintained by one family and is now ready for its next chapter. Set on over half an acre, the fully fenced backyard stretches to the woodline, offering privacy and space you rarely find in town. The heart of the home is an open kitchen and dining area, perfect for hosting or everyday living. From there, step into a bright bonus room filled with natural light from wall-to-wall windows and skylights—the kind of space that instantly feels like a retreat. Glass doors lead out to a covered deck with a ceiling fan, creating the perfect spot to unwind, entertain, or enjoy quiet summer nights. With three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this home was thoughtfully designed for accessibility, including first-floor laundry. The finished basement is its own retreat, featuring a full second kitchen, bar, entertainment area, activity room, and workshop—with direct access to the backyard. The two car garage has a pull through door on the other side, offering accessibility to the fully fenced yard which includes a large 2 part shed! The location adds so much value—this neighborhood backs up to Wright Park, home to the beach, splash pad, skate park, ball fields, and Beach House Bar & Grill with Lakeshore Grill Works at the end of the street if you're craving a summer treat! Don't miss your chance to own a slice of country charm—inside the city limits, in a home you’ll be proud to call yours! Estate Sale will be held June 6th, 7th 8th & 9th- updated photos to follow!
