About this home

This all brick ranch home situated at the top of a cul-de-sac was lovingly maintained by the owner. The foyer entrance opens to a formal living and dining room, all with beautiful hardwood flooring.

The master suite features a sitting area, walk-in closet and a separate bath with soaking tub, shower and double sink vanity. The eat-in kitchen with large pantry and lots of cabinets has sliders to the deck. The adjacent family room with its cozy fireplace has sliders to the rear patio. Property is priced to sell so bring your own sense of style, color and your imagination and take advantage of the space, the beautiful surroundings and the convenience of living close to major highways for commuting, shopping and entertainment.
