Upstairs is a loft area overlooking the main level w/ plenty of skylights to let the sun pour in. Add a wall and this could be a 3rd bedroom as it is a 3 bedroom septic.

On to the mostly finished basement w/ wooden bar & stools, a dart board & space for a pool table to provide endless family fun. There is even storage for your wine collection or canned goods!
