Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite, a brand-new guest bathroom, and an additional full bathroom ready for your design vision. A pull-down staircase leads to the attic, offering ample storage or the potential for a third-floor expansion. The versatile lower level adds even more living space, perfect for a home office, gym, playroom, or an additional entertaining area. It also features a laundry area, abundant storage, and convenient staircase access to the garage. A long list of updates includes (2024) windows, lintels, doors, tuckpointing, and (2022) roof, furnace, modern lighting, can lighting, updated electrical outlets, and much more.
