Description
Welcome to this spacious and well-maintained ranch home in New Castle. Larger than most homes in the neighborhood, this four-bedroom, one-bath property offers a comfortable and functional layout with an added bonus room in the back that creates a generous living area and an oversized primary bedroom. The kitchen is impressively large with plenty of storage, updated countertops, and new appliances. Fresh paint, new carpet, and several system updates make the home truly move-in ready and offer peace of mind for the next owner. The yard is the perfect size for easy upkeep and enjoyment, and two large sheds provide excellent storage. A brand-new concrete driveway adds great curb appeal. Recent upgrades include HVAC 2025, dishwasher 2025, a roof approximately five years old, and a newer water heater. The home has central AC and forced-air heat, with the back addition supported by baseboard heat and a window unit for added comfort. This is a fantastic opportunity to own one of the larger ranch homes in the community with thoughtful updates throughout. Open House Saturday 11:00 to 1:00.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
