This sprawling ranch has so much to offer. 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths; new flooring throughout just last month, and the interior completely repainted. The big family room has a wood-burning fireplace that covers the entire wall. The kitchen is open to the dining area and the family room, with plenty of space for a big table. It also has a desk area. Big laundry room with a separate utility room. Master bedroom has a full bath and a walk-in closet! 2 more good-sized bedrooms. All bedrooms have brand new carpeting. The rest of the house has brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring that's waterproof, easy to clean, and looks great! There's a patio just outside the dining area and a 3-season sunroom as well. 2 storage sheds in the backyard will stay. The backyard overlooks farm ground. The 2 car garage has additional built-in closet storage. Within walking distance to schools and just blocks from the hospital. With over 2000 square feet, this house has everything you need and having just been professionally cleaned, it is move-in ready!
