About this home
Introducing this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1940s ranch, where original character has been carefully retained and modern improvements have been made where they matter most. Set on nearly half an acre, this three-bedroom, two-bath home pairs original hardwood floors and the warmth of its era with a brand-new roof, fresh exterior paint, updated bathrooms, and an HVAC system replaced in 2020. Inside, two distinct living spaces, a dedicated dining room, and a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances provide plenty of room for both everyday living and entertaining. Outside, the expansive fenced backyard is ready for gardening, chicken keeping, kids at play, or long evenings around the grill. It’s a home that feels true to its 1940s roots without asking you to live like it’s still 1940—full of character, thoughtfully maintained, and updated for the way we live today.
