Three additional bedrooms and beautifully updated baths offer flexible living for family, guests, or work-from-home needs.The finished lower level with cozy media lounge, mudroom, and bath creates the perfect guest suite or movie night hangout. The oversized 728 sq ft garage is ready for all your gear.
