Property Description

Welcome to this charming Bannockburn Ranch retreat, where comfort and convenience meet one-level living! This delightful rambler features 3 beds, 2.5 baths, and a fully finished lower level with bonus room, providing ample space for relaxation and entertainment. This home was purchased by the current owners in 2023 as their family home and has been updated with care and is move-in ready. Sad to let it go, the seller is getting called back into the office on the West coast and searching for a buyer who will care for the home as much as they have. Featuring updated systems, newer windows, and cosmetically refreshed. The current owners replaced the roof, inspected and updated the electrical, refreshed the bathrooms, painted inside and out, replaced hardwood flooring and carpet, refinished the lower level and added LVP in the studio/office area. They also improved the landscaping and updated several appliances. The living area boasts a stunning fireplace and floods with natural light through a large bay window and French doors. With 3 beds and 2 full baths on the main level this convenient and cozy canvas is perfect for first time buyers and those looking to right size. The refreshed lower level gets good light and is ideal for a family entertainment area and also includes a recently finished room, perfect for a home office, studio, or 4th bedroom. With this location and price, you have no shortage of options to customize and add on to suit your needs. The lower level laundry and half bath can easily be converted into a full bath and the seller has explored expanding the kitchen and adding an all-season sunroom/porch to maximize the beautiful views off the back of the house.
