Move-in ready, affordable, and set on over half an acre--this 3BR/2BA ranch offers the space, privacy, and value that's becoming harder to find under $300K. Inside, you'll find a comfortable, easy-flow layout with laminate hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas and brand-new carpet in the bedrooms, creating a fresh, welcoming feel. The updated kitchen features new granite countertops, a new dishwasher, and stainless steel range, microwave, and refrigerator--all included--making it truly turnkey. Just off the kitchen, the separate laundry room with side entry doubles as a convenient drop zone or mudroom, perfect for everyday living, pets, or unloading groceries. Step outside and enjoy the space so many buyers are looking for. The large back deck is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, while the expansive yard offers room to garden, play, or simply unwind. A small fenced area provides a great spot for pets, and the storage shed adds extra functionality for tools and outdoor equipment. For added peace of mind, the home has been pre-inspected and is receiving a brand-new roof. If you've been searching for a move-in-ready home with land, updates, and strong value under $300K, this one checks all the boxes. Note: The home did not initially syndicate correctly to some websites, so the online days on market may appear longer than the home's true exposure.
