Some homes are "kept up." Others are quietly cared for, improved, & actually lived in - this one clearly falls into the second category. Tucked into the well-regarded Amherst neighborhood (& yes... blessedly no HOA), this ranch delivers comfort without fuss & upgrades that make everyday life easier instead of just prettier. The main level features hardwood floors & an updated kitchen with refinished cabinetry, granite counters, stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, added custom cabinetry at the bay window & abundant storage. It opens naturally to the dining & great room centered around a cozy gas fireplace with updated surround, removed half-wall for better flow, & newer lighting throughout. The primary suite was thoughtfully redesigned with double-door entry, walk-in shower, private toilet room, double sinks, granite counters, heated tile flooring throughout the entire bath, & added storage - a daily-use upgrade, not just cosmetic. Modern stair railing (2024) adds a clean architectural touch. Downstairs, the finished basement adds real flexibility including a true conforming bedroom (added 2024), updated lighting, newer carpet & multiple living spaces ideal for guests, hobbies, workouts, or multigenerational living. Step onto the expansive deck (gas line for grill & firepit) with awning & well-maintained 7-person hot tub. The yard features a manicured setting with 5-zone sprinklers on a quiet, friendly street near Legacy HS. Major improvements: roof & gutters 2022, PEX plumbing replacing polybutylene 2019, water heater 2015, updated flooring/baseboards throughout, paint inside & out, lighting, baths, & consistent long-term care. Not a quick makeover - a genuinely move-in-ready home improved over time by owners who planned to stay.
