ranch located on end of cul-de-sac featuring a really generous lot with some mature trees and an oversized two car garage. Home has been very well cared for with newer furnace, A/C, and water heater and some finish in basement. As private of a setting as an in town lot gets!! This is the type of home and street you can let your children play without fear of traffic. Walking distance to elementary school and park, close to shopping as well.
