Step into a time capsule in the best way possible! This 1965 brick ranch is serving peak retro perfection, and it's been lovingly preserved by just one owner. If you've ever dreamed of orange Formica countertops paired with a matching lima-bean-shaped breakfast table (AND matching mini blinds, of course), your moment has arrived. The vibe continues with textured orange glass windows in the office, rich wood paneling that sets the mood just right, sparkle ceiling tiles, and terrazzo flooring greeting you at the door. The primary suite is a retro fantasy: a huge bay window, walk-in closet, a separate built-in vanity with sink, and quite possibly the most incredible medicine cabinet you've ever seen. Throw in pink carpet and a pink bathroom? YES PLEASE! Beyond the style, this home delivers serious substance. The sturdy brick ranch construction, replacement windows for great insulation, and a sunroom with crackle brick floor make it as practical as it is cool. The floorplan is fantastic, offering tons of flexibility with multiple living areas, storage galore, and a full basement complete with wood stove, workshop, and full bathroom. An oversized attached two-car carport with built-in cabinets and workspace adds even more functionality, all set on a private 2.82-acre wooded lot. Vintage charm, incredible layout, and rock-solid construction...she's got it all!
