Upstairs, you’ll find three generous bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, and a well appointed hall bath. The finished lower level extends your living space with a roomy recreation area and additional utility/storage room. Outside, the large deck invites effortless entertaining, while the spacious backyard provides endless enjoyment. A storage shed adds even more convenience.
