Don't miss this beautifully maintained all-brick ranch set on a landscaped half-acre just outside of town. This move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a fully finished basement and an ideal layout with both a spacious living room and a large family room featuring a gas fireplace with brick surround. Relax year-round in the screened sun porch with wind blocks, overlooking a private, fenced backyard perfect for entertaining or unwinding. Enjoy peace of mind with major updates already completed, including a new roof (2020), new front door with warranty (2021), updated casement windows, and all major mechanicals-furnace, central air, and hot water heater-replaced in 2022. Well water pressure tank is only two years old.
