This is a very interesting property offering lots of space and lots of surprises. From the street it appears to be a modest sized ranch, but it has 2 additions. The first addition was a 23x18 family room/dining combination which opens to the kitchen and most recently a master suite, with private bath, walkin closet and a deck offering handicapped access. The 3 bathrooms are new and beautiful one is handicapped accessible with separate shower and tub. The home sits up high on a double lot.
