The finished walkout lower level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring rich wood and stone accents, a large recreation or exercise area, a wet bar, versatile bonus room (ideal for an office, craft area, or game room), an additional powder room, and direct access to the backyard.

Outside, the 1/3+ acre landscaped lot backs to tranquil woods and includes a wonderful 18’x45’ deck and a 12’x16’ sunroom off the kitchen, perfect for year-round enjoyment of the serene surroundings.
