Description

Pride of ownership, inside and out, is evident in this solid ranch in the Brandywine School District. Over 1 acre of land surrounded by woods can be enjoyed when relaxing on your covered deck. Close enough to the grocery store, bank and post office, but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. All newer mechanicals, new solid oak kitchen & unique garage with access from both sides. One floor living at its best!Pride of ownership, inside and out, is evident in this solid ranch in the Brandywine School District.
