The expansive ranch allows for easy one level living. The graciously sized and light filled living room is anchored by a handsome & functional fireplace.The original kitchen has striking features such as indestructible concrete countertops, original vintage white enameled sink (to die for), a commercial style range and the pièce de résistance - a built in circular banquette. Multiple doors lead to a large patio and magical back yard, complete with a forsythia forest and abundant azaleas. There is also a hidden playground and wonderful fire pit in the back. The home has 3 BR/2 BA's plus a bonus room and separate dining room on the interior. BRAND NEW ROOF! If that is not enough you also have that elusive 2 car garage with space to turn around!
