Outdoor adventure and small town charm are right at your fingertips, while time spent at home is just as enjoyable—this home features a generous 1,918-square-foot layout of convenient one-level living. This residence also shows off a newer roof and gutters, and don’t miss the sizable backyard with room for entertaining, gardening, and play!

Timeless and inviting, this home-sweet-home is a joy to spend time in, and it all starts in the welcoming living room. A beautiful fireplace, natural light, and plenty of room to kick back and relax all await here in this haven that’s sure to become the heart of the home. While the fireplace adds to the cozy ambiance ideal for winter, AC keeps things cool all summer long. Entertaining is also a delight—the open layout flows right into the dining area and big bright kitchen where there’s room for everyone to gather. A lovely backdrop for years of making memories beckons!

The large kitchen is especially noteworthy—the island offers more seating (in addition to the dining area) and the perfect spot for meal prep and serving refreshments at your next get-together. One of the big perks of this kitchen’s design is all of the cabinet storage; there’s plenty of room to keep all of your kitchen essentials organized. Large counters make it easy to spread out the next time you’re whipping up something special. All appliances are included as well.

This home’s sprawling layout offers ample versatility—in addition to 3 bedrooms and 1.75 baths, the den could easily become a 4th bedroom. In the primary suite, discover an extra spacious layout. And any extra bedrooms are ready to become the home office, home gym, hobby room, play room, or art studio that you’ve always wanted!

In the kitchen you’ll find direct access to the covered patio in the backyard, ensuring that outdoor entertaining and grilling up dinner are a breeze. Have fun creating a stylish outdoor living and dining area you can use rain or shine. The big level fenced backyard is also brimming with possibilities—a sprinkler system keeps the lawn looking lush, and it’s ready for play and fetch with your pup. A shed and RV parking provide even more flexibility.
