Property Description
Spacious and Secluded in Miller Beach! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath ranch with an attached two-car garage and a walk-out basement is situated on a jumbo lot that is tucked away in nature. The backyard is a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Charm, Character and Function best describe this wonderful home that shows with pride of ownership. Essential updates include a new high efficiency furnace, new ac, newer vinyl windows, newer vinyl flooring, an operating fireplace, 100-amp electric service and more. Beautiful hardwood floors and large windows in the living room and dining room that overlook the incredible backyard creating a tree-house effect. Plenty of storage. This home is in excellent condition but priced to sell, and the sellers are motivated. Some furnishings and artwork may be included. Miller Beach isn't quite the secret it once was, but this location is a hidden gem. Easy to show.
