This charming small ranch sits on a quiet Uptown cul-de-sac, just a 10-minute walk to shops and dining. At the heart of the home is a spacious eat-in kitchen, a welcoming gathering place for family and friends. Thoughtful updates include a new roof (2021, 10-yr warranty), air conditioning (2024), water heater (2022), appliances (2021), range hood, and garbage disposal. Fresh trim, a large laundry room, and a newly renovated basement with a flexible bonus room add comfort and function. Step outside to a composite deck, fully fenced yard, and fresh 2024 landscaping. A 2½-car garage provides ample storage, while extras like a water softener, dehumidifier, and SimpliSafe security system make this home move-in ready and worry-free.
