Property Description
Value and practicality come together in this move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom ranch. This move-in ready ranch offers the kind of layout buyers are always looking for - practical and easy to maintain. The hardwood floors add character, while the large kitchen gives you plenty of room to cook, gather, or simply spread out a little. Everything you need is on one level, including the washer and dryer, which makes daily living easier whether you're starting out, downsizing, or just tired of stairs. Pull-down attic access gives you extra storage without sacrificing living space. And then there's the garage. At roughly 900 square feet, this is far more than a place to park. It's insulated and set up for someone who likes having room to work, store equipment, tinker on projects, or create the kind of hangout space most garages wish they were. If you've been looking for a solid, well-kept home with useful space in all the right places, this one is worth a look.
