Attractive 3 bedroom ranch located in the sought after north side "Planets" neighborhood in the Spring Street school district designed for easy one level living with the added amenity of a 23 X 24 two car attached garage with direct entry to the kitchen to assemble your groceries! Once you step inside the sun-filled living room, you will be immediately impressed by the custom built-ins that accent both sides of the classic fireplace. Sunny kitchen features a new Andersen slider to deck with abundant cabinetry and stainless appliances opening up to a dining area with custom cabinets and shelves to display your favorite of dinnerware or cookbooks. 3rd bedroom is being used as a home office. A partially finished lower level is ideal for an exercise room, office, or recreation space with a convenient utility half bath. The main hallway bath was remodeled in 2021. Enjoy the private setting in the back yard relaxing in the 15 X 10 enclosed porch that was added in 2012 with an attached wood deck. Separate PVC fenced area for pets or garden. Convenient commuting location!
