$524,900
3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 202629422 MLS
A centrally located craftsman-style front porch welcomes you to 105 Dunsbach Ferry Road, and the house carries that warmth inside. Nearly an acre of open lawn, framed by mature trees, surrounds a ranch where daily life happens on one floor: kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms and two full baths. A few steps lead down into the living room, where a wood-burning fireplace, mantle, and wide windows face the yard. The kitchen is built for everyday use. Honey-toned cabinets, a gas range, stainless appliances and a tile backsplash surround a breakfast bar while also having direct line of sight into the living room, and French doors open to the large rear deck. The primary suite has its own wing. Vaulted ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, an office, a walk-in closet and a private deck make it feel like a retreat. The bath has a jetted soaking tub, a water closet and a roomy tiled shower with multiple shower heads. Below, the full basement stands 9 feet high and opens to the yard through a walk-out. A workshop area with a garage-style door is already in place, and the rest is open for your plan, whether that means more bedrooms, a bath, a media room or a golf simulator to name a few ideas. Outside, there is a fenced garden with raised beds and a big deck for summer evenings. Owned solar panels mean the electric bills reflect only the utility service fee. For added piece of mind, structural, pest and mold inspection reports were completed recently. Public water and sewer, gas forced air heat and central air. Ranch homes like this don't appear too often and this beauty certainly checks all the boxes.
