About this home
Are you looking for an updated, move in ready home with plenty of space, one-level living, and no HOA? This 4 bed, 2 bath ranch checks all the boxes. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, this home offers more than 2,000 square feet with a desirable split-bedroom floor plan. The home has been thoughtfully updated while keeping everyday functionality in mind. Step inside to an open, inviting layout where LVP flooring flows seamlessly throughout the entire home. Straight ahead, the spacious living room offers plenty of room to gather, while the beautifully updated kitchen features quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a metallic tile backsplash, and an oversized pantry. A spacious eat-in area provides plenty of room for dining and entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, a secondary entrance offers convenient access from both the driveway and backyard. A beautifully finished 3/4 bath with eye-catching tilework sits just off the entry, while the adjoining hallway leads to a functional drop zone with a built-in bench, dedicated laundry closet, and utility closet. Tucked privately within this wing is the primary bedroom, featuring large windows that bring in an abundance of natural light, a generous walk-in closet, and direct backyard access. On the opposite side of the home, you'll find three additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, creating ideal separation within the split-bedroom layout. Outside, enjoy a 0.3-acre lot, a privacy fenced backyard, two storage sheds, and refreshed landscaping. Major improvements include a new shingle roof and fence in 2023, newer windows throughout (replaced in 2018 and 2020), a recently painted exterior, and new front landscaping. With more than 2,000 square feet all on one level, a beautifully updated interior, abundant storage, and major improvements already completed, all that's left to do is make it yours.
