Welcome home to this inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch perfectly located near everything in Waterville. Set on just over a half-acre lot, this property combines privacy and convenience—with a walking path in the backyard leading directly to Rummels Field for recreation and outdoor fun. The open-concept kitchen and living area make everyday living easy, featuring a cozy original fireplace (currently set up for a pellet stove), an island for extra prep space, and plenty of cabinetry. The kitchen opens to a sunny back deck, ideal for grilling or relaxing. This home has seen thoughtful updates, including new appliances (2023), refreshed landscaping with a fire pit, raised garden beds, and lawn improvements, updated lighting fixtures, and a new garage door rail and motor system (2025). The driveway was also sealed and coated in 2025, adding to the home's clean curb appeal. The attached two-car garage and paved driveway make winters easier, while the backyard and deck shine during summer months.

Conveniently located ranch with 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and just over a half-acre of property.
