Welcome to easy, peaceful living in Castleton Estates. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a beautifully established 0.41-acre lot, this thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers the rare combination of single-story simplicity, generous outdoor space and a location convenient to nearly everything. Inside, warm wood floors and abundant natural light create an inviting feel throughout the main living areas. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, refreshed cabinetry and stainless steel appliances and opens naturally to the dining and living spaces. A classic brick fireplace anchors the great room, creating a comfortable gathering space for quiet evenings at home or entertaining friends. With all three bedrooms, two full baths and the laundry room located on the main level, the floor plan makes everyday living refreshingly uncomplicated. Just as appealing is how much of the home's updating has already been done. Improvements include the roof, windows, kitchen cabinetry and countertops, stainless appliances, high-efficiency furnace and air conditioning, hardwood flooring, carpeting, water heater, lighting, bathrooms and more-allowing you to settle in and enjoy rather than immediately take on a long list of projects. The outdoor spaces may be the best part. Step into the 14' x 14' screened porch, ideal for slow mornings with coffee, reading on a breezy afternoon or dinner outside without the bugs. Beyond it, a separate 14' x 11' gazebo offers another inviting place to relax or entertain, while the fully fenced backyard provides privacy and plenty of usable space for gardening, pets or simply enjoying the mature trees and peaceful surroundings. And downsizing doesn't have to mean giving up storage. The finished three-car garage provides exceptional room for vehicles, hobbies, tools or all the things you aren't quite ready to part with. One story. Nearly half an acre. A private fenced yard. Screened outdoor living. Three-car garage.
