Property Description

Welcome home to this bright and inviting ranch sitting proudly on a corner lot, serving major curb-appeal energy from the jump. As soon as you pull up, you'll notice the huge 2-car garage and spacious deck, perfect for grilling, hosting, or just chilling on warm evenings. Step inside and you're met with a sun-filled living room that instantly feels cozy and welcoming. Large windows pour in natural light, making the space feel open and airy. The kitchen gives you plenty of cabinet and counter space to whip up meals or entertain without feeling cramped. Right next to it, the dining area sets the vibe for family dinners, weekend brunch, or whatever you're cooking up. Down the hallway, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms with great closet space and a full bathroom that keeps daily routines smooth. The partially finished basement adds extra hangout space, perfect for a movie room, gym setup, or game-night zone, while still leaving plenty of storage. From top to bottom, this home blends comfort, practicality, and good vibes. Sitting on a corner lot with a massive deck and a big 2-car garage, it's ready for someone to make it theirs.
