A convenient mudroom and hallway area adds everyday practicality and helps keep the home organized. Laundry is located in the full, unfinished basement, which also features waterproofing and a “Mama Bear” wood stove, providing additional utility and storage potential. One of the standout features of this property is the one bedroom apartment or in-law suite addition. This private space includes its own entrance, separate utilities, and was updated in 2020 with central air conditioning, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new tile, and the addition of a walk-in closet.

The setting even offers potential for a small farmette for those seeking a more self sufficient lifestyle. Parking and storage are well covered with a detached two plus car garage equipped with electric and water, along with ample driveway parking. The garage and driveway were both updated in 2020, including new garage doors and a new garage roof. This home has seen extensive updates and major system improvements.
