The master bedroom is a sanctuary with sliding glass doors to the covered, rear paver patio, as well as ensuite and walk-in closet! The lower level offers a two-car garage and a blank slate of over 700sf ready to finish into your ideal space. With the laundry hook-up, the basement also contains a full bath rough in.
