About This Home

This sprawling 3 bedroom brick ranch is something special! Sitting on nearly 1.5 acres, it's perfect for any nature lover. In the backyard, the wooded lot has a peaceful babbling brook (with a twice yearly salmon run!) flowing through with a bridge taking you to a private clearing ready for some s'mores and a bonfire! Inside the home, you'll be welcomed into the living room with beautiful picture windows displaying the stunning nature surrounding you. From there, you'll be welcomed into the spacious kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances. Before you enter the finished laundry room you'll have a half bath and then through the laundry room, you'll find a cozy screened in porch leading to the deck where you can enjoy the sounds of the babbling brook. In the large bonus room off the 2 car garage, you'll find an attached office space, and plenty of extra room for entertaining.
