Petite, neat and oh-so-sweet! This pristine three-bedroom ranch is truly move-in ready and packed with major improvements! Natural light fills the inviting living room through an oversized picture window, highlighting the newly refinished hardwood floors that continue through the hallway and into all three bedrooms, each offering generous double closets and high ceilings throughout. The bright eat-in kitchen features oak cabinetry, newer appliances and plenty of natural light, while the beautifully remodeled bath offers a fresh, crisp feel. Laundry hookups are conveniently available on both the main level and in the exceptionally clean basement, which also provides abundant storage and exciting potential for future living space. Outside, enjoy a well-groomed, level yard that is primarily fenced, plus an attached one-car garage with automatic opener and convenient access to the rear yard. Major improvements include vinyl replacement windows (2026 & 2021), automatic Generac generator (2023), gas furnace and central air (2022), gas water heater (2017), plus a newer roof, vinyl siding and garage door with automatic opener. Tucked into a quaint neighborhood setting with easy access to major roadways and everyday amenities, this charming home checks all the boxes. Cute, comfortable, updated and oh-so-easy to love—this one embodies all the right feels!
