About This Home

Welcome to this spacious all-brick ranch home offering a versatile floor plan, quality built-ins, and plenty of room to spread out. Thanks to the rear driveway access, this home provides true ranch-style living with convenient entry to the main level. The eat-in kitchen features warm wood cabinetry and offers ample space for everyday meals and gatherings. Throughout the home, you'll find custom built-ins in the formal dining room, family room, and living room, providing both character and practical storage. Enjoy two fireplaces—one in the living room and another in the family room—creating inviting spaces throughout the year. The family room also includes an indoor cooking grill adjacent to the fireplace, adding a unique feature for entertaining and special occasions. The primary bedroom includes a private full bath, while Bedroom 3 offers the convenience of an attached half bath. Hardwood flooring is believed to be located beneath the carpet in both the primary bedroom and Bedroom 3. Zoned heating and cooling provide comfort and efficiency, and one of the furnace/air conditioning systems is only one year old. The finished lower level adds flexibility with a non-conforming 4th bedroom featuring a shower and sink. The older pool table will remain with the property, offering additional recreation space. Outside, the trampoline and fire pit can stay for the new owner's enjoyment if desired. Additional features, storage opportunities, and the all-brick exterior make this property a must-see. One unique detail you'll notice is the sheet metal installed around the front living room window. It was added to prevent squirrels from accessing the bird feeder, allowing for an exceptional up-close view of visiting birds while they feed. The sheet metal can be removed if desired, but many may find the daily birdwatching experience well worth keeping.
