THE PERFECT FAMILY OR RETIREMENT HOME just outside the West Branch City Limits! This solid-brick ranch offers an impressive 2,842 square feet of finished living space, including a full finished basement, with nearly an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds that give you plenty of elbow room and a wonderfully private feeling overlooking the woods. The exterior has great curb appeal with a welcoming front deck, private rear deck, attached two-car garage, storage shed, blacktop driveway and your own well and septic—meaning no municipal water or sewer fees! Inside, you'll find a cozy front entry, FOUR bedrooms, 1½ baths and spacious living areas with plenty of room for family and guests. The finished basement adds a huge family room with a fireplace and wood stove insert, dedicated sewing/hobby room, large utility room and an abundance of storage. Natural gas hot-water baseboard heat provides comfortable, efficient warmth, while the instant hot-water system is another nice bonus. The beautifully established yard, mature trees and extensive landscaping create a peaceful Up-North feel, yet you're just outside West Branch and close to shopping, doctors, the hospital and everything else you need. A rare combination of space, privacy, solid construction and convenience!
