From the moment you step foot onto this property, it is evident how meticulously well this home has been cared for, inside and out! This 1-Story home offers the convenience of a low maintenance yard, stone and vinyl exterior with a location just a half of a block away from Prairie Central Upper Elementary. Large improvements have been completed in recent years such as a new roof (2017), reverse osmosis system for drinking water (2022), 100 Amp service with updated electrical, plumbing, windows, kitchen and main floor laundry appliances. The 2.5 car garage (heated and spray-foamed) along with the breezeway/mudroom garage was built in 1986. A family room addition was added in 1996, connecting the original house to the mudroom. The family room features a vaulted ceiling, skylights and boasts beautiful natural light that shines into the kitchen. The front living room and two bedrooms have original hardwood flooring under the carpet. The dry basement has never had a drop of water and leaves room for possibilities for extra living space!
