Charming and efficient, this well-maintained ranch sits on a private 1.76-acre lot and is perfect for anyone seeking one-floor living in a peaceful setting. It's been in the family for two generations, and this is the first time on the market!
Step inside to find a sunlit living area, a spacious bedroom, and a second bedroom, home office, or guest space. With updated windows and roof, you'll enjoy peace of mind and energy efficiency from day one.
Three reliable heat sources—including oil, pellet stove, and a heat pump—offer year-round comfort and flexibility. A full basement includes a large workshop area, ideal for woodworking, hobbies, or storage. The one-car garage adds convenience, and the low-maintenance exterior makes upkeep a breeze while the detached shed provides extra storage.
Located just minutes from town amenities, yet tucked away with plenty of elbow room, this move-in-ready home offers the best of both worlds.
