Meticulously maintained by the same owner for 40 years, this inviting rancher offers comfort, character, and thoughtful updates throughout. The heart of the home is the open kitchen and family room, featuring vaulted ceilings with skylights that flood the space with natural light. The kitchen showcases granite countertops, double sink, and Yorktown full-height solid hickory cabinets with dovetail drawer joints, and an under-sink carbon-cartridge water filter feeding both the faucet and refrigerator. The adjoining family room is anchored by a free-standing natural gas stove and opens through sliding doors to a covered concrete patio with koi pond, recessed lighting, two ceiling fans, and a Weber natural gas grill-perfect for year-round entertaining. The bright living room with bay window complements three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, each with in-wall electric space heaters for added comfort throughout the winter. The clean, organized basement offers excellent storage and great potential for finishing.  Outside, enjoy a two-car covered carport with motion-activated lighting, a 6x8 herb garden, a 16x24 fenced vegetable garden with apple and pear trees, a 10x12 storage shed, and a three-sided covered firewood shed. Brick-paver walkways lead to both the front porch and rear patio. Move-in ready and beautifully cared for, this home is ready to welcome its next owner.
