Ranch home has a hidden garage and appealing porch

Vickie is a quaint glimpse into past ranch homes. It has the porch across the front and the garage is in the rear, out of direct sight yet easy to enter.

The front door of the Vickie opens up into a great room. The front is the living room with a fireplace on the right side and a window seat.

The right rear corner is the kitchen. It has an angled eating bar, a corner pantry, a Lazy Susan and a large window overlooking the back yard and covered patio.

A door opens onto the patio. Outside a door from the patio opens into the garage as does a door from the garage into the house next to the stairs. The utility space is located in the two-car garage next to this door.

The left side of the main floor is the master suite. It also has a window seat with a large window facing the front. The master bath is in the rear behind a pocket door, with a tub, linen closet and a single sink.

Upstairs are two large bedrooms. The center of the sloped ceilings in each of the rooms is 8 feet. Long wall closets and large windows along with attic access doors are in both rooms. A full bath with a large shower is located between the stairs and bedroom 3.

Overall, the Vickie looks bigger than its 1,176 square feet. It could in the future be enlarged if needed. It is a great empty nester or starter home.
