About this home

Perfectly situated on a spacious corner lot, this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rambler offers easy main-level living and thoughtful updates throughout. The main level features gleaming hardwood floors, Andersen windows, and beautiful built-in hutches in the kitchen and dining areas. Mechanical highlights include a new water softener and a furnace overhauled in 2022 with a new heat exchanger. The versatile three-season porch serves as a year-round retreat with a window AC unit and warmth provided by the family room fireplace. Outdoor living is a breeze with a maintenance-free deck featuring a remote-controlled awning, a large lower-level patio, and a dedicated garden shed for extra storage. The exterior is further enhanced by abundant perennial beds and a peaceful no-through street location. Designed for accessibility, the home features bedroom doors wide enough to accommodate a walker. An electric chairlift provides easy access to the walkout lower level, which houses a third bedroom and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Located close to parks, bike paths, schools, and medical facilities, this home combines comfort with a highly convenient location.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
