Set back from the road in a tucked-away spot in Williston, this is not your ordinary ranch. It's got style. Well-maintained, unexpectedly cool, and full of personality, this three-bedroom home proves that one-level living doesn't have to be predictable. Come in through the enclosed porch and step into a well-appointed kitchen with newer appliances, including a gas range. From there, the house opens up. A bright and spacious dining area flows into the generous living room, where a big bay window pulls in tons of natural light and gives the space a little extra architectural punch. The updated full bath skips the standard setup with a separate soaking tub and shower, plus a new vanity and toilet. Each of the three bedrooms has a personality of its own, including one currently doing double duty as a home office. Downstairs, a full unfinished basement handles the practical stuff (laundry, storage, gear), and leaves plenty of room to imagine what else it could become. A new washer, dryer, and hot water heater are already in place, taking a few big-ticket items off the list. Outside, a deck overlooks an enormous front yard with plenty of room to garden, play, or entertain. Set well back from the road and surrounded by green, the property has a sense of privacy that's increasingly hard to come by. Best of all, tucked away doesn't mean out of the way.
