This is the right ranch for many

355 Parrott is on the market  

By Mark Schadenberg

As a Realtor, I often hear from people who want to reside in a ranch (large bungalow), but want the privacy of a freehold detached home. In other words, an empty-nester couple with those specific comments does not want to live in a condo townhouse complex – no matter how much green space there may be between the units.

I have just listed a wonderful ranch (built by John Goodman) at 533 Parrott in Woodstock, which would be a superb choice for any couple. It’s an 8-year-old home, but the owners have continued with various small projects to enhance this property quite nicely.

You are greeted at the front door by a large foyer and spacious great room (10 ft ceilings) with a built-in hutch and custom drapery blinds with thermal backing.  This living area is certainly large enough for the dual purpose of living and dining rooms. Within the past year, the house has had new high-end laminate flooring installed through much of the main floor.

Peninsula inside; pergola outside

Next to this great room is the eat-in kitchen, which leads to both the main-floor laundry and 2-car garage. There are also garden doors off the dinette to an expansive 36' long wood deck with pergola and gas bbq hookup. The kitchen design includes a peninsula (LED pot lights above) and the owners plan on including the stove (with a double oven great for baking pies), fridge (water and ice) and dishwasher.

The master bedroom (also with gardens doors to the deck) has a unique design for its ensuite and walk-in closet as the large shower is separated from the vanity/counter area in its own small private room.

The front room in the ranch – off the foyer – is ideal for a second bedroom or den / office. Again, laminate flooring was new in 2012.

The lower level features a warm ledge-stone Napoleon gas fireplace and about 600 sq ft (29' x 21') of entertainment space. Current owners have a pool table and dart board, but you may prefer Foosball.

The third bedroom in the basement has a walk-in closet area which leads the utility room and a currently unfinished 3pc bathroom.

Additional features/amenities of 355 Parrott include: tankless hot-water heating (included) system, 200-amp breaker box, fully insulated and drywalled garage, additional attic insulation added to increase R-value, an abundance of pot lights, exterior lighting with timer for pillar lights, and professionally landscaped.

Also: Air purification system added on furnace.

To top it off, this section of Parrott is a very quiet street as it’s really a crescent from Kingfisher to Finch.
