About This Home

Don't miss this raised ranch which has been wonderfully maintained and updated by longtime owners of over 30 years! The pride of ownership is apparent as soon as you approach this home with it's covered entrance and sunburst pediment trim above the stained-glass front door. Welcome guests into the foyer landing with practical and durable ceramic tile flooring. Heading up to the main level living room, there are thoughtful updates throughout including crown molding, baseboards, six-panel doors, recessed lighting, tasteful shelving, and surround sound speakers. Next, the beautifully expanded and remodeled kitchen makes preparing meals such a pleasure with 36" upper cabinets for storage including a leaded glass door for display, solid Corian countertops that flow seamlessly into the sink for easy cleanup, a reverse osmosis drinking water system, and an abundance of light from recessed ceiling fixtures and under-cabinet lights including over the breakfast bar area. The kitchen features table space for eating indoors or head outside to the deck through the Anderson sliding glass door. All 3 bedrooms feature ceiling fans and window blinds. The grey bedroom has a double-wide closet that was borrowed from the brown bedroom but can be converted back if desired. The downstairs lower level offers flexible space that can be utilized multiple different ways: the front family room is currently being used as a bedroom and the rear office with pocket door and full bathroom is currently being used as a dressing room. The insulated garage can be heated/cooled and there is a rear shed for additional storage space. The rear deck has 2 staircases down to the back yard which has a mature tree providing shade, Rose of Sharon flowers around the home, and the fences are all owned by the neighbors so there is no maintenance to worry about. Have peace of mind knowing the city inspection is completed with no repairs needed by the buyer and the big ticket items have all been updated: BRAND NEW ROOF AND GUTTERS (July 2026), water heater (2018), high efficiency furnace and air conditioner (2014), kitchen (2005), windows and sliding glass door (2005), vinyl siding (2005), electric panel (2004).
