This 4-bedroom, 2-bath ranch was built in 1958 and offers 1,640 square feet of comfortable single-level living - a solid canvas ready for your vision. The heart of the home is a warm living room anchored by a brick fireplace, bathed in natural light from large windows framing the wooded surroundings. Original hardwood floors run throughout, adding timeless character. The eat-in kitchen features knotty pine cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a retro checkerboard floor full of personality, flowing seamlessly into a bright dining area ideal for gatherings large and small.
