This charming, move-in ready 2-bedroom, 1-bath brick and limestone ranch is tucked away on nearly a half-acre lot, offering both space and privacy in a peaceful setting. The home's standout feature is the sunken great room, where you'll find a warm fireplace, tall beamed ceilings, and a large picture window that fills the space with natural light--creating a welcoming atmosphere for both relaxing and entertaining.
