Tucked away on nearly an acre in the desirable Northwestern School District, this charming ranch offers the perfect balance of peaceful country living with the convenience of nearby city amenities. Inside, you'll find a bright and welcoming layout filled with natural light from the abundance of windows throughout the home. The spacious kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a center island that's perfect for everyday meals, entertaining, or gathering with family and friends. Just off the main living space, the garage has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile recreation room--complete with an operational garage door that allows you to open the space up for fresh air and seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Prefer a traditional setup? The space can easily be converted back into a two-car garage if desired. The private primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with dual closets and an attached en-suite bath. Additional highlights include a cozy sunroom, ideal for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, and a spacious patio overlooking the newly fenced backyard--perfect for pets, gardening, or outdoor entertaining. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including new flooring, fresh paint, RO water system, new stove and refrigerator (within the last 5 years), sump pump (2017), updated electrical box, and a fully encapsulated crawlspace (2023), and a fully-fenced in backyard (2024). With plenty of room to spread out both inside and out, this home offers comfort, flexibility, and endless possibilities.
