Bright, polished, and designed for easy everyday living, this Willowgate Trails ranch keeps the essentials on one level while offering room to spread out downstairs. The split-bedroom layout centers on a vaulted living room filled with natural light, with a sliding glass door opening to the rear deck and a broad backyard framed by mature trees and open field views. The eat-in kitchen was refreshed in July 2026 with painted white cabinetry, new hardware, marble-look laminate countertops, and a coordinating backsplash, complemented by stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and generous pantry storage. The spacious master suite includes a large walk-in closet and private bath with a walk-in shower and transom window, while the separate main-level laundry adds everyday convenience. Downstairs, the finished recreation room features recessed lighting, arched details, a gas fireplace with tiled hearth and surround, and a built-in corner workspace, with substantial unfinished storage, workshop, mechanical, and utility space beyond. Additional updates include flooring, furnace, and appliances in 2018, water heater in 2025, water softener in 2019, a new garage door in 2023, and fresh interior paint along with refreshed shutters and front door in 2025. PEX plumbing with a centralized manifold, city utilities, and an attached two-car garage complete the home. A potentially assumable FHA mortgage with an approximate $130,000 balance at 4.875% may be available to a qualified buyer, subject to lender approval and verification of all terms.
