One-level living at its BEST! This spacious Ranch, within the highly sought-after 55+ community of Brook Ridge, boasts an enviable location with trees and a picturesque water view at rear. Open concept living/dining/kitchen and a thoughtfully designed layout with bedrooms at opposite ends of the home for privacy, each serviced by its own bath. An additional room off the Master provides the perfect space for an office, exercise room, or sitting area to enjoy some quiet reading. If a walk-in Jacuzzi tub is on your wish list, you'll find it here, along with other comforts and conveniences such as: first-floor laundry with designated sink and oak storage cabinets, direct entry from an attached two-car garage with auto open, natural gas heat, and a maintenance-free exterior where monthly fees include landscaping, plowing, and snow removal that extends to shoveling to the Farmer's porch! In addition to the welcoming Farmer's porch, there is a large sunroom off the kitchen overlooking the pond. A full walk-out basement offers LOTS of storage area or space for future finish. The attractive common grounds invite you to take a stroll, bike ride, or visit the newly constructed exercise room in the renovated community building. Proximity to grocery and convenience stores, shopping, restaurants, post office and nearby major routes can't be beat!
