The fully-daylight lower level offers exceptional flexibility with an additional bedroom or office, 3/4 bath, large rec room, and a versatile flex space ideal for a playroom, home gym, craft room, or future kitchenette. The outdoor patio provides another serene space to take in the view at eye level.Significant recent improvements provide confidence and immediate livability while still offering room to personalize and add value over time.
