About This Home

As of October 2022

The finished lower walk-out level certainly could serve as an "in-law' suite for guests that stay long term. It features a bedroom, full bath, large recreation room, and a wine storage room. Sit by your inground pool and enjoy the peace and quiet this property has to offer. Chimney and fireplaces being sold as-is with no known issues.
