The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath complete with a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and ample vanity space. One of the home’s most valuable features is the full finished basement, offering exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyles. Whether you envision a home theater, recreation room, gym, office, hobby space, playroom, guest area, or additional entertaining space, this lower level provides endless possibilities to fit your needs. Additional features include generous storage throughout, spacious room sizes, easy-maintenance flooring, natural light-filled interiors, and a layout designed for comfortable living.
