The walk-out lower level is designed for recreation and comfort, featuring a freshly painted recreation room with new carpet, recessed lighting and a slider door, which leads to the patio. A fifth full bathroom provides a tub/shower. The lower level includes a storage room, plus two additional unfinished spaces that provide exceptional potential for future finishing. For your comfort, key systems have been updated, including the roof, windows and HVAC, plus a generator has been installed. This special home is designed to experience the beautiful outdoor oasis. The gracious indoor living extends outside to the expansive composite deck, flagstone patio, lush two-acre grounds with mature plantings, trees and fenced rear yard.
