The finished walk-out basement includes a large great room with wet bar, a bonus room (currently a poker room, but could be a gym, office, potential 5th bedroom, or even a salon as it does have water hookup), a designer bathroom with marble walk in shower and flooring, separate storage area, and sliding glass doors that lead to a spectacular in-ground pool complete with an automatic pool cover and a private, wooded backyard with no rear neighbors. The attached finished 3.5 car garage has epoxy floors and additional attic storage with pull down stairs for easy access. The landscaping has been meticulously maintained and the front yard had new sod installed last spring! This gem is conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants, parks, walking/bike path, schools, expressways and not too far from the new South Shore train station for easy commuting! Low taxes round out this amazing home. Schedule your showing today so you can spend the summer enjoying the pool and everything this beautiful home has to offer!
