The Home
This 5-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home was built in 1964 and has seen several seamless additions and remodels over the years. The sellers purchased it in 1985 and have put in a lot of care and work to make it a welcoming, comfortable family home.
The main floor features a bright and open layout with a living room, sitting area, kitchen, and dining space—filled with natural light for a warm, spacious feel. The large kitchen includes a generous island with plenty of counter space, perfect for cooking and gathering. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with quality finishes.
The primary bedroom includes a large walk-in closet and a private bathroom with twin vanity sinks and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms are also located on the main floor. The second full bathroom, located just off the main living area, has been recently remodeled and includes twin sinks and a fully tiled tub/shower combo.
Downstairs, you’ll find a large rec room with an egress window and two more bedrooms—ideal for guests, older kids, or a home office setup.
A large mudroom/laundry room is located off the attached two-car garage. It includes plenty of space for laundry and folding, plus a scrub sink and room that’s doubled as a sewing area.
