Rare opportunity to purchase a large, light filled home on one of the neighborhood's best streets. Located in the heart of Toco Hill on a dead end street. Fantastic interior space: fully finished basement, media room, playroom, huge family room, screened porch... this one really has it all. Large, flat back yard- it just doesn't get any better. Just needs your finishing touches!
