Full basement with luxury vinyl tile flooring throughout doubles the homes' size by adding a large recreation area and second living space, generous walk-in pantry/storage closet, office or basement bedroom (no egress), and laundry room with storage. Fully fenced backyard faces east, keeping cooler during hot afternoons. Deck refinished 2025. Cement fire pit added and new landscaping 2025. Newly painted storage shed included.
