Easy, affordable living in this 15-year-young, 3-bedroom ranch with an attached one-car garage and convenient first-floor laundry! High oil prices? Not your problem! This home features energy-efficient geothermal heating and cooling, providing year-round comfort without the need for heating oil. Couple that with solar power and you have an perfect combination of energy efficiency and affordability!  Bright, sunny southern exposure fills the home with natural light (and melts the driveway). A welcoming front entry features a newer glass door with sidelights, a large living room window adds to the bright and airy feel. The spacious eat-in galley kitchen offers access to the side yard, attached garage, and full basement. An electric fireplace, which conveys with the home, provides additional warmth and ambiance.  Three bedrooms include a primary bedroom with private access to the deck and beautifully landscaped backyard. Outside, enjoy a private outdoor retreat featuring a patio with a pergola that connects to the side entrance of the shed-an inviting space for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the fall weather. A full basement with hatchway access provides plenty of room for storage and additional possibilities.  Combining energy efficiency, single-level convenience, modern comfort, and inviting outdoor living, this unique home offers an exceptional opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing comfort.
