Description

In 2023, Joe and Lara gave a complete remodel to this 1970 ranch home. Guests will enjoy an expanded, open floor plan with ample sunlight and one-story living. Modern upgrades include a spacious kitchen with modern appliances, quartz and butcher block countertops and glass backsplash. Oak floors throughout, with ceramic tile in the bathroom. Bathroom has an electronic bidet and walk-in shower with grab bars. Each bedroom is approx. 11'x12' with large windows and quiet, modern ceiling fans. Main bedroom includes a Queen luxury latex mattress and the 2nd bedroom includes a Full. Study sports an adjustable standing desk and ample storage. Stackable laundry is on the main floor, close to bedrooms. The home is well-insulated, heated and cooled with mini-split heat pumps. The newly-built deck includes a 10'x20' screen porch. The 0.7 acre property boasts mature landscaping, shed space and potential to revive the previous owner's large vegetable garden. The Orchard Valley neighborhood is close to downtown, but in the "rural outlying" district, which limits development and protects local wildlife. Most neighbors are retired or current educators. The basement is unfinished but includes a rough half bath and laundry room. Move-in date is flexible.
