Tucked away on a spacious .9 acre lot in the heart of town, this well maintained 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath ranch offers the perfect combination of convenience, privacy, and incredible garage space. The mostly fenced property is surrounded by mature pine trees, creating a peaceful and private setting that feels worlds away while still being close to everything town has to offer. The home features a comfortable layout, an attached 2-car garage, and a completely remodeled bathroom with a beautiful walk-in shower and tile flooring. But the real showstopper is the garage space! A massive 41 x 24 detached heated garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, storage, or a workshop. An additional 40 x 24 heated garage is finished to an impressive standard, offering a space that is every bit as nice as the interior of the home and perfect for an entertaining area, hobby space, or whatever you envision. Properties offering this combination of a large lot, privacy, in-town convenience, and exceptional heated garage space don't come along often. If you're looking for a home that offers room to spread out, incredible storage, and spaces that can adapt to your lifestyle, this one deserves a closer look!
