Don't let the modest exterior fool you - this one-owner ranch home in Rolling Hills subdivision keeps surprising you the moment you step inside. What appears unassuming from the street unfolds into 2,247 square feet of thoughtfully designed main floor living with generous 9-foot ceilings throughout. The original owners designed this home themselves with brilliant foresight, creating a layout where the master suite enjoys privacy on the garage side with convenient basement stair access, while the two additional bedrooms occupy their own wing. Everything flows naturally to the welcoming center of the home where family life happens - the heart where everyone naturally gathers. The formal dining room showcases a beautiful stained glass window, strategically positioned away from potential harm, while the expansive 12x22 sunroom offers peaceful views where you can take leisurely walks to discover the gentle creek that meanders through the back of your property.
The real magic happens below where over 1,800 square feet of basement space awaits your vision - and this could be the coolest basement you've ever imagined. With 1,148 finished square feet already in place, picture transforming the 16x15 carpeted area with built-in shelving into that coveted fourth bedroom, creating a private retreat perfect for teenagers, guests, or even a multi-generational living space. The impressive 15x25 workshop becomes command central for all your projects and hobbies, while the expansive 31x15 main area transforms into the ultimate family entertainment zone. This home truly has so much to offer - with laundry convenience on both levels, copper plumbing throughout, dual hot water heaters, and outdoor living spaces including a deck, patio, and 3-season porch. The current owners, who lovingly designed and enjoyed this special home, are delighted that it will soon welcome a new family to create their own cherished memories within these thoughtfully crafted walls.
