The main level enjoys open concept living which features a spacious living room, kitchen, hardwood floors, sunroom/office and a master suite, while the walk-out lower level boasts 8ft ceilings with an additional office space, guest suite, entertainment room, wet bar, and a covered stone porch. Finished upper level with two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, hardwood floors and a large walk in storage room complete with a cedar closet.

Meticulously maintained with major improvements: new roof and expanded parking (2025), house painted, new fence, porch upgrades, and back windows (2024), and a major remodel with finished third-floor living space and updated bathrooms (2021). Additional updates over the past 1-7 years include boiler, kitchen, central A/C, and front windows. Winter is easier with a heated garage and smart garage doors.
