anch home This “one
e has
been completely redone
m the inside out - leaving nothing for the
new owners to do except to move right in.
Hardwood and ceramic flooring throughout
the home makes it a breeze to take care of.
Residential lot is situated high atop a hill with
breathtaking views of both sunrises and sunsets.
Approximately 1/2 acre in the Braeview Heights area.
Frontage is 135 and depth is 150. All utilities are
available nearby. Seller is entertaining all reasonable
offers.
This solid brick raised ranch home has very spacious rooms
consisting of 3 bedrooms, dining room, kitchen and 2 full baths.
There is a possibility of a 4th bedroom in the basement area - this
room has its own separate bath and could be utilized as a craft room,
workshop, etc., or the lower level would be perfect for a mother-inlaw
suite with its own entryway and bath. The home has a fenced in
backyard with a fire pit and a newer shed and two additional porches
along with the back patio. The parking options are great with the
tandem/integral garage and large driveway that has an additional
concrete parking pad. The large, finished game room has its own
entrance in the front of the home with new flooring just completed.
The storage and closet space in this home is exceptional!

Many seniors want to spend
as long as possible residing
in the comforts of their own
homes. According to AARP’s
2021 “Home and Community
Preferences Survey,” more
than three-quarters of U.S.
adults age 50 and older prefer
living at home. But getting
older often comes with
certain deficits that may not
make current living situations
the safest for seniors.
Retirement Living reports
that an older person is treated
in an emergency room for
a fall-related injury nearly
once every 10 seconds.
Certain adaptations may
be necessary if seniors want
to stay in their homes, particularly
in older homes that
have not recently been renovated.
Change knobs to levers
This is an easy modification.
Levers are much easier
for individuals with arthritis
or persons who lack dexterity
in their hands. Everything
from doorknobs to
faucet knobs can be replaced
with levers.
Create zero-threshold
entryways
Zero-threshold entryways,
also known as flush entries,
do not require crossing a lip
or any raised barrier. They
can appear on doorways and
showers and make it easy
for people who have mobility
issues, as well as those
using scooters, walkers and
wheelchairs, to move about
unencumbered.
Clear clutter/move
obstructions
One inexpensive modification
is to remove extraneous
furniture and accessories.
Such a change widens walking
spaces in a room and
accommodates walkers and
wheelchairs. In addition,
furniture can be pushed
to the room’s perimeter to
make moving around easier.
It’s also important to remove
area rugs, as they’re often
tripping hazards.
Install grab rails
Minimizing falls could
come down to providing
support in key rooms of a
home. Adding grab rails in
the bathroom near the toilet
and in the shower can help
a person use those facilities
without assistance. Install a
grab rail close to seating in
the kitchen to add support.
Consider smart lighting
Motion-activated or darkness
activated lighting
switches and fixtures can
automatically turn on lights,
thereby improving visibility.
Also, rocker light switches
are easier to maneuver
than standard toggles.
