One level living seems attractive to gnomes, racing jockeys, and peg-legged pirates. And it might just be perfect for you too. Which is why we offer a gift wrapped gray beauty of a ranch. Stately black vinyl shutters (made, we're told, with the best shutter vinyl) adorn the front of this classic home. A row of sparky little evergreens nestled in red mulch provide the perfect contrast to the huge evergreen tree that occupies the front yard like a sleeping giant. The whimsically curving front walk leads you fairly tale like to the front entry. Two small steps and you can breathe easy in the expansive living room featuring a window so big you'll feel like you're outside when you're inside and two white vents that distribute warm and cool air like magic. The kitchen, in its timeless "L" configuration, can be food fight fun and "I'm hungry, where's my dinner" efficient at the same time. The always popular white cabinetry with brushed nickel pulls big enough to grasp with oven mitts or swollen hands from an allergic reaction to parsnip, allow storage for everything. Plus, it's an eat-in kitchen with easy to clean tile flooring - the perfect answer to dining slobs. A large laundry room is also right off the kitchen if things get too out of hand. The one bath is all the bath you'll need. Swirly gray marble looking tile that runs from the tub to the ceiling, broken by a perfectly positioned row of delicate accent tiles (true old world inspiration). With the natural light filtering in from the window and a lilac candle, you may never want to leave the tub (at least until the water gets cold). Big triple pane medicine cabinet has room for all the weird stuff you buy at the drug store, use once and forget. It will be waiting for you if you need it again right here. Three nice bedrooms that each feature two side by side windows allowing you to open one and leave one closed when the mood strikes. Try that in a bedroom with only one window - doesn't work. The backyard softly whispers "play with me" in a friendly, not creepy ghost like way. And why not... the yard is great. A stately shade tree with perfect pinata branches, fully fenced on two sides, and grass so green you'd think it was actually fertilized. A long, sweeping driveway (room for everyone at the party to park off street) ends at a big garage just waiting to cuddle your cars like a little puppy that leaks oil. A house-sized shed is behind the garage that will make a great second home for an unruly teenager, a sports fanatic sanctuary, or just more room to store life's unneeded treasures. We must advise you, this pin-neat property won't be on the market any longer than it takes to sell (which is meaningless), so see it quick and have the satisfaction of beating out everyone else who should have seen it but didn't get the chance because you beat them to it. Trust us, that feels good.
