What's unique:Semi-open floorplanGated yardHalf acre corner lotCozy front porchFresh paintAmple space

This is a good one! Tucked into a low traffic neighborhood on over a half acre corner lot, this quaint and charming ranch offers lots of storage and comfortable living. A cozy front porch is big enough to sit and enjoy a morning coffee under the shade of beautiful, mature trees. Aluminum siding is great for easy maintenance. Go inside to a welcoming and semi-open floorplan, complete with hardwood floors and fresh paint. Newer double-hung windows and plenty of them lets the natural light flood in! Move through toward the bedrooms through the dedicated office space. Each room has a ceiling fan and closets are generously sized with hardwoods under the carpet throughout. Be sure to check out the enormous 3rd non-conforming bedroom in the basement! The bathroom is complete with shower/tub and white tile that is easy to accent to your own style. Moving into the kitchen, where all stainless appliances stay, if you like to cook at home, take a moment to appreciate the gas stove! Cabinets are plentiful and opportunity for added shelving lies around the corner in the mudroom out to the back, which offers indoor access to the basement. Sliding door leads through an intimate covered patio space and into a gated yard. A huge detached 2-car garage offers ample space for a workshop, a couple of bonus rooms and it's own accessible attic.

"Other than the occasional item stolen from an unlocked car, this is a pretty safe, low crime area. Neighbors don't go out of their way to talk to each other, but I also haven't noticed any unpleasantness in the 5 years I've been here. It's been a good place to live. "
