This classic 1960’s brick ranch has had excellent care. Fresh paint throughout, new flooring in kitchen and bath, recently buffed hardwood floors in two bedrooms and new exterior doors make this home move-in ready. Step into the cozy living room warmed by the southern sun. The eat-in kitchen features birch cabinets and offers easy access to the living room, basement and rear exterior. Laundry hook-ups for a stack unit are conveniently located in the kitchen. Down the hall you have a full bath, three bedrooms and a linen closet. The partly finished basement offers a family/rec room with a brick wood-burning fireplace and good storage space. This great property also features a large enclosed patio perfect for summertime and opens to a wonderful fenced back yard with storage shed. An attached carport leads to a large 1-stall garage. Note: A portion of the yard and garage is Zone X-500-yr flood plain, therefore, flood insurance may be required by a lender.
