Description

Simply Sensational Solid Brick Ranch home in pristine condition just waiting for you to unpack! Approaching our home you will notice a covered front entry area that serves as a weather block from rain/snow/wind & offers a ring doorbell (2023) for that extra safe feeling. Pella Front door & Screen door new in 2012, Immediately upon entry you will feel the quality along with owners pride as this home is in near perfect condition. Our front entryway opens into the generously sized living room offering a gas fireplace & hardwood flooring plus a huge picture window showcasing the manicured front lawn, Most rooms throughout the main level have a nice detailed touch of crown molding installed in 2003, nicely re-designed main level bathroom has been updated with a Pella window in 2002, Shower/glass doors, tri-fold mirror, vanity & ceramic tile. Our delightfully charming eat-in kitchen offers newer countertops & sink along with updated appliances while all this overlooks a Fantastic 3 Season Sunroom addition with all windows-built in 2006. This area offers many tranquil hours of enjoyment as one could gaze out at the meticulously maintained fenced in lawn. Oh & be sure to notice our pulldown blinds in the sunroom that can be used for privacy or blocking incoming sunrays. NOTE: The MLS listing refers to a 3rd bedroom home however that 3rd bedroom is currently being used as a Dining Room & offers a built-in cabinet. This room could easily convert back into a bedroom as the seller left the hinges in place for a door & the built in cabinet could be repurposed if one wanted & then simple reinstall a hanging rod for clothes. Other features include;100 amps electrical service throughout the home. Radon system installed 2015, Renewal by Anderson Windows 2007 throughout our main level in the home (except the main bathroom which has the previously mentioned Pella replacement window). All window treatments stay. Upon entering the basement area you will notice the floors & walls have been freshly painted & this area includes a spacious Laundry Room w/storage approximately 18.11x11.5, Our bonus & convenient 2nd Full Bathroom in the basement has been freshly painted too. A convenient battery back-up sump pump connected to a dewatering system that takes water away from the basement & out of the home along with two new sump pumps within the last 3 years have been set up. Water heater new in 2017, meticulously landscaped lawn with a back yard fence. Oversized One-Car plus garage that has plenty of storage space & an exterior people door to the back lawn. Roof torn down to black paper & replaced in 2008 along w/adding commercial sized Gutters with a cap system, You won't be disappointed!!!
