The full, unfinished basement offers exceptional expansion potential—ample space to add at least two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and bonus living areas. The home also includes a fully fenced yard, a detached 312 sq ft garage, and a long driveway for convenient off-street parking. A separate tax lot (R209204) is included in the sale, adding further value and possibilities.
