The first floor boasts three large bedrooms, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath, a second large bedroom with full bath and a versatile home office. Upstairs, you will find newly installed hardwood floors (2024), two oversized bedrooms both with ensuite baths, along with abundant closet space and built in storage. The one-of-a-kind lower level features 8-foot ceilings, maple hardwood floors, and a large work out studio that doubles as a bedroom. Open living space, a full bathroom and areas plumbed for a second kitchen offer endless possibilities for recreation, live-in childcare, or extended family living. Outside enjoy the custom blue stone patio and professionally landscaped yard, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Rebuilt rear porch and stairs for both main level and basement entrances. Buried all utility lines for direct connection to house. Installed Kichler outdoor lighting system. Full tear off tile roof, new copper gutters and downspouts, all completed in 2017.
