Carefully prepared and truly move-in ready, this home offers a pride of ownership that is immediately apparent. Fresh interior paint, a recently updated bathroom, and a clean, cohesive presentation throughout allowing the next owner to step in without any projects. The layout is straightforward and practical, with the open concept the main living space flows comfortably into the kitchen and dining areas, complemented by a separate laundry room positioned just off the kitchen. Two nice size bedrooms provide flexible living options within a footprint that remains efficient and easy to maintain. An outstanding feature of the property is the expansive covered side patio, which functions as a genuine extension of the living space. As configured, it offers comfortable three-season use and serves equally well for everyday living and entertaining. Its size, structure, and orientation make it particularly well suited for future screening or enclosure, presenting a clear opportunity to create additional finished square footage without reworking the existing layout. The outdoor setting continues to impress with a large, level rear yard that is fully fenced for pets, gatherings, and recreational use. The fire ring provides a natural gathering point, and a detached storage building—owned by the seller stays with the property—adding practical workshop space or storage. The established landscaping offers privacy and structure while remaining easy to manage. Behind the scenes, recent crawlspace repairs have been completed, providing added confidence and peace of mind. Taken together, this property presents a compelling combination of condition, functionality, and flexibility. It is particularly well suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a low-maintenance home with meaningful outdoor living space and clear potential for future enhancement.
