01About this home

Space, storage, and smart updates - this 2,223 sq ft ranch-style home checks every box. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a two-car garage, and two additional sheds, there's room for everything and everyone. At the heart of the home, the oversized kitchen impresses with a center island that's ideal for weekend cooking, casual entertaining, or homework hour. Flow seamlessly into both a formal living room and a separate family room - a rare layout that gives every member of the household their own space to unwind. Brand new LVP flooring in the family room (2024) adds a fresh, modern touch and keeps maintenance effortless. Step outside to a yard framed by large, mature trees and a fully fenced area - whether you have kids, pets, or simply love your privacy, the outdoor space delivers. The big-ticket updates are already done: a new roof in 2023, HVAC and furnace replaced in 2018, and updated flooring in 2024 mean you can move in with confidence and without the worry of immediate capital expenditures. This is a well-maintained, move-in-ready home offering exceptional square footage and lasting value in Benton.
