Welcome to this beautiful rancher in Vale Hills. Just off the entry is the formal living room, offering a bright and welcoming space to relax. Continue through to the expansive eat-in kitchen featuring freshly painted white cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, skylight, and brand new stainless steel appliances. The former eat-in area has been reimagined with a large center island, providing additional storage and prep space, along with access to the side deck and adjacent laundry/mudroom. Beyond the kitchen is a spacious dining room filled with natural light and ample table space for gatherings. The bump-out addition showcases vaulted ceilings and its own mini-split system, creating a generously sized family room with access to the rear yard and a covered walkway leading to the detached garage. Down the hallway, you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms with hardwood flooring and good closet space, along with a nicely appointed hall bath featuring tile floors, a large vanity, and tub/shower combo. The primary suite offers hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, a double-door closet, and a beautifully updated private bath with a tile shower stall. The fully finished lower level expands your living space with a bar, wood-burning stove, dedicated home office area, and plenty of storage. Step outside to a generously sized paver patio, ideal for entertaining or unwinding, and a beautifully private backyard surrounded by mature trees that create a peaceful, wooded retreat. The spacious outdoor setting offers a serene backdrop, perfect for relaxing, hosting, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of nature. A spacious driveway leads to an oversized detached two-car garage, offering excellent parking and storage options. Recent updates include a roof (2017), an electric water heater (2016), and a brand new electric HVAC system installed within the last few months.
