Imagine pulling into your driveway, greeted by the timeless charm of a ranch-style brick/vinyl home set on a full acre of peaceful property. Located in the sought-after Jackson School District and just minutes from town, this home offers the rare combination of convenience and quiet country-style living.
Step inside and immediately feel the warmth of the vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings that draw your eyes upward in the spacious living room. A cozy gas fireplace anchors the space — perfect for holiday mornings, quiet winter evenings, or gathering with the people who matter most. The open flow into the dining area makes entertaining effortless and natural.
The remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home. White custom cabinetry with pullouts, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, dual pantry cabinets, and a charming coffee bar create a space that’s both beautiful and highly functional. Whether you're hosting family dinners or enjoying a slow Saturday morning, this kitchen is built for real life.
The main level also includes three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, along with a laundry room large enough to truly simplify life — offering room for your washer, dryer, freezer (or two), hall tree, and extra storage. A standout feature is that one of the generously sized bedrooms has a flexible living space. You could use it to fit whatever your wants and needs were: bedroom, toy room, or extra gathering space, which the present owners have set up since their kids are all grown now. Every day living just feels easier here.
Downstairs, the walkout basement expands your lifestyle even further. Movie nights in the family room. Game tables in the gaming areas. Two bonus rooms with closets and smaller windows for guests, hobbies, or creative space. A large storage room ready for holiday decorations and keepsakes. There’s even a dedicated space designed for a hot tub — a blank canvas for your personal spa retreat.
Outside, a haven you will enjoy year-round. Starting with an above-ground pool with surrounding deck spaces creates the perfect summer gathering spot. A tree-lined backyard adds privacy and serenity. The full acre gives you room to breathe, play, garden, or simply enjoy open space. And the inviting front porch? It’s made for slow evenings, morning coffee, and listening to the quiet of this charming subdivision.
With approximately 3,250 finished square feet plus additional storage, this home doesn’t just offer space — it offers flexibility, comfort, and the lifestyle so many buyers are searching for.
This isn’t just a house. It’s room to grow, room to gather, and room to breathe. Call today for your tour.
