Easy living

JACKSON, Mo.

If your idea of the good life is simple and easy-going, you might want to take time in your afternoon to view this home at 2539 Ridge Road.

This home's charm is in its easy maintenance and neighborly manner. With vinyl siding on the outside, and fresh-looking paint and carpeting on the inside, it's ready to become the new home for a family looking for some room to grow. Warm wood parquet flooring greets guests from the moment of their arrival in the entrance to the home.

The cathedral ceiling and the light colors throughout the house give the home a roomy feeling. A bright kitchen that joins the living room promotes family projects and togetherness. Yet a deck overlooking a large backyard offers those chances for peaceful solitude on a spring evening. The yard is like a fresh canvas for those who love landscaping and gardening as their artistic medium.

The master bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a generously sized romantic oval tub. Oak cabinetry gives each of the rooms warmth. Each of the two children's bedrooms are nicely decorated.

Though the downstairs isn't finished, it offers numerous possibilities for growth. Plumbing for a bathroom is already roughed-in, and the downstairs area would enable plenty of room for a family room, another bedroom, and ample storage. A two-car garage is also attached.

This is a home that also enjoys a pleasant neighborhood with great neighbors and wonderful Jackson schools. It is within easy driving distance to both Jackson and Cape Girardeau.

This home is available through Re-Max Realtors, 335-8565. It is currently priced at $124,900.
