Sitting on nearly an acre, this 3 bedroom ranch offers space, flexibility, and room to grow - inside and out. Newer LVP flooring and fresh trim work (to be completed before closing) give a clean, updated feel. The front bedroom would make a great home office or workout space. Two entry closets offer convenient storage. The large living room includes space for dining. Guest bedroom is currently used as an office. The spacious primary bedroom features a deep closet and additional storage above the stairs. Full bath with tile floor. Kitchen includes a gas stove, dishwasher, double sink, and a good-sized pantry. Basement offers laundry, a half bath, workbench area, and a large bonus room. Security camera system included. Outside, enjoy nearly an acre of mature trees, elderberries, garden space, and a detached 2-car garage with workshop - plenty of space for hobbies, play, or just room to breathe. Schedule a tour with your agent to see if this is the slice of life you've been looking for.
