Property Description

Set on a beautiful wooded lot, this spacious 1970s ranch delivers the perfect blend of vintage character and modern updates. A welcoming foyer opens to an expansive front living space that works beautifully as a formal living room, home office, or den. From there, the layout flows naturally into the heart of the home: a truly standout kitchen designed for both everyday life and serious cooking. Updated cabinetry offers abundant storage, while a stunning granite island and stone backsplash anchor the space with warmth and style. A large pantry and a sunny window overlooking the backyard round out a kitchen that's equal parts functional and inviting. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area and family room, creating an easy, connected gathering space with direct access to the backyard deck. The family room features vaulted ceilings, a rustic barnwood mantel, custom built-in bookshelves, and brand new carpet, giving the space a cozy, elevated feel that's perfect for everything from movie nights to holiday gatherings. An oversized mudroom with built-in storage and a main-floor laundry area keeps daily life organized and makes true one-level living possible. Down the hall, you'll find a well-appointed guest bath and three main-floor bedrooms, including a comfortable primary suite with its own private full bathroom. The finished walk-out lower level adds even more personality and flexible living space. A second family room features a classic throwback 1970s wet bar, fireplace, and built-in shelving, making it an ideal spot for entertaining or relaxing. You'll also find a large additional bedroom, a full bathroom, and an extra finished room perfect for a playroom, workout space, or hobby area. Brand new carpet in the lower-level bedroom and bonus room adds a fresh touch, and the freshly painted utility room provides excellent storage. The garage includes a dedicated workshop area, offering the functionality of nearly a three-car space. Additional highlights include a whole-house Generac generator, a spacious backyard deck, and a peaceful, tree-lined setting that feels private and serene. If you've been searching for a home with space, soul, and smart updates already in place, this one checks every box without feeling cookie-cutter.
