The heart of the home extends seamlessly outdoors, where a massive screened porch and expansive rear decking, including a trellis-covered entertaining area, create inviting spaces to enjoy your morning coffee, host family gatherings, or simply unwind while overlooking the peaceful surroundings. The full basement, complete with egress, plumbing rough-in, and abundant storage, offers exceptional flexibility with endless opportunities to create additional living space, a recreation room, home gym, workshop, or whatever best suits your lifestyle. Car enthusiasts, hobbyists, and anyone needing extra workspace will appreciate not only the attached two-car garage but also the impressive 22' × 30' detached workshop/garage with water and electric. Both the home and detached garage are pre-wired for a generator, providing added peace of mind and convenience.
