This one is sold, but give me a call and I can help you find a home that is perfect for you! Welcome to this spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bath ranch-style home on nearly an acre near Carlyle Lake! Outdoor living is easy with a large covered deck, uncovered patio, and mature shade trees. The oversized insulated garage offers water, ductwork, and an older furnace that has not been recently used; condition not guaranteed. It’s a perfect setup for a man cave or gathering space. A shed adds extra storage. Inside, the open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining, and family room with a cozy gas fireplace, while a separate living room provides even more space for entertaining. The primary suite features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower, while the second full bath serves the remaining bedrooms and guests. This well-maintained double wide is move-in ready and being sold as is; buyers are welcome to inspections at their expense. Cash or conventional buyers only.

Market expertise
Responsiveness
Negotiation skills
Professionalism & Communication
A True Professional Who Delivers Results We had the pleasure of working with Dana Allen to sell not just one, but two homes—both of which had their fair share of challenges. From the start, she demonstrated deep market knowledge, incredible patience, and unwavering commitment. One of the homes had some structural issues, and the other needed significant updates, but Dana never shied away from the obstacles. Instead, she came prepared with a solid strategy, a network of reliable professionals, and expert guidance to get both properties sold at strong prices. Communication was top-notch throughout. We always knew what was happening, what to expect next, and felt supported every step of the way. Dana brought professionalism, honesty, and a calm confidence that made the entire process less stressful and more successful than we could have imagined. If you're looking for a realtor who can handle complicated sales with grace and determination, look no further. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Dana Allen to anyone buying or selling—especially if your property isn’t “perfect.”

✨ Double the Repeat, Double the Joy! ✨

I recently had the incredible honor of representing both the seller and the buyer in a single transaction — and what made it even more special is that they were both repeat clients! 💛

The seller had trusted me to help sell a property in the past, and the buyer had previously found their dream home with me, too. This time, I had the unique privilege of guiding both of them through another big move — and I couldn’t be more grateful.

What truly made this experience unforgettable? These clients aren’t just clients… they’re like family. 💚🏡💛

Thank you Jon, Donna & Linda (represented by her daughter Brenda) for continuing to put your trust in me. It means the world.
