About this home

Staggered floors in this 4 bedroom split level allows everyone in the family to retreat to their own space. Main level features a spacious living room and kitchen, while the upper level houses 3 bedrooms and full bath. The lower level is finished with a family room and bedroom and, finally, the basement level provides lots of storage space. Nestled on a dead-end street in a peaceful neighborhood not far from the school campus. Rear patio overlooks a great backyard with mature trees and a view that stretches over a corn field giving a secluded feeling.
