About this home

Back on the market with NEW CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING as of July 2022. Welcome HOME! This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is ready for you to move in and LOVE!! Recently remodeled by the longtime owner to today's modern tastes, it is the definition of "move-in ready"! The home is located away from the main street, maximizing privacy and the beautiful ravine setting. As you pull up, you'll notice the attached, single car garage to complement the ample amount of driveway parking. This home is the entertainer's haven - plenty of space for all your friends & family to gather! As you walk up to the main entrance, you will be delighted by the stunning view of the backyard and ravine. Nature surrounds you creating your own escape from the world. The large shed allows for storage of both your tools and your toys, keeping the yard tidy & free of clutter. Entering the home, you'll find the huge living room, featuring a bay window overlooking your own acreage. Just off the living room is the updated kitchen, with stainless steel appliances, and tons of cabinet space. The main floor master bedroom is complimented by a full bathroom as well, making this an easy living home. The additional two spacious bedrooms, as well as the second bathroom, are just up a few stairs. Organization won't be a problem with the two additional storage areas off the garage. Come, visit, and make this YOUR HOME!
