Charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch situated on a spacious 1-acre lot where deer and wildlife are often observed —offering the perfect blend of space and convenience! This home features the benefit of city water and a recent upgrade to city sewer, giving peace of mind on major utilities. Inside, you’ll find a functional layout ready for your personal touch, while key mechanical updates have already been taken care of, including a roof (2008), water heater (approx. 3 years old), and furnace (5–10 years old). The home has been pre-inspected, and a transferrable termite warranty through Rick’s Pest Control is included, adding extra confidence for the next owner. Outside, you’ll appreciate the large asphalt driveway and a spacious 2-car detached garage with attached shed, providing plenty of parking and storage. With room to spread out, garden, or enjoy outdoor living, this property offers a great opportunity for affordable living with major improvements already in place! Sellers are offering a John Deere mower and a $3,000 concession at current list price for buyers to make desired updates.
