Some homes are designed for gathering, others for slowing down.

Some homes are designed for gathering, others for slowing down. This Stratford ranch strikes the perfect balance. Set back from the road on a picturesque lot, this inviting home offers the ease of one-level living with a layout that feels connected yet private. A covered front porch with Trex decking and a charming swing creates a warm welcome and the perfect place to start or end the day. Hardwood floors extend through the main living spaces, where a bay window fills the living room with natural light, and a fireplace creates a welcoming focal point before flowing seamlessly into the dining area. Just beyond, a distinctive family room serves as the heart of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings and skylights, built-in bookshelves, and a large window overlooking the peaceful backyard. Whether envisioned as a family room, study, or creative retreat, this versatile space adapts to your lifestyle. Tucked away from the main living areas, a dedicated bedroom wing provides a sense of privacy, highlighted by a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and private half bath. Thoughtful storage throughout includes a hallway pantry with potential for first-floor laundry. The backyard invites you to linger, with a covered rear deck overlooking the yard, a second porch swing, outdoor dining space, and a gas hookup for grilling. A backyard shed provides additional storage, while the beautifully maintained grounds offer the perfect setting for both lively gatherings and quiet evenings at home.
