Not every ranch hits like this. Some are just houses. This one feels like home the second you walk through the door.

The kitchen is smart, functional, and unexpectedly stylish with Corian countertops, a GE 5-burner cooktop, stainless KitchenAid dishwasher, built-in breakfast seating for four, and direct access to the side yard for easy indoor-outdoor living.

Downstairs, the finished basement completely changes the game with luxury vinyl flooring, a gas fireplace wrapped in stacked stone, and a curved granite bar with beverage fridge that feels ready for game nights, cocktails, or movie marathons. Dedicated laundry and utility spaces offer exceptional storage and functionality. Major mechanical updates provide serious peace of mind including Carrier furnace (2022), humidifier (2023), sump pump with battery backup (2023), AO Smith hot water heater (2019), 200 amp electrical, Generac generator, newer air conditioning, tuckpointing updates, and a roof with 30-year warranty.
