This home was sold last fall with a delayed closing and now the buyers have been transferred so this home is now back on the market. This updated and spacious walk/out ranch is located "South of Grand" on a very large (1/3 acre) lot with beautiful landscaping, a fenced rear yard and a two level patio. The main floor features a living room with a stone wood burning fireplace, a dining room, an all white eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, a mud room next to the 2 car attached garage and 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is small and is presently being used as an office. The large master bedroom addition at the rear of the home has its own 3/4 bath plus a first floor laundry. The lower level is finished with a family room, another bedroom, 3/4 bath and an exercise room. This home is very spacious and has lots of sunny natural light and beautiful views out the new energy efficient windows. Shows well!
