Set on approx. 1/3 acre with expansive deck space, high ceilings, and open living areas, the home includes 5 bedrooms + office, 3.5 baths, and a 2-car garage. The upper level features the original 3BD/2.5BA layout; the lower level (added circa 2000) offers 2 bedrooms, an office with a sink, a full spacious bath, kitchenette, and open living and dining area.
