LEVEL-IN with a PANORAMIC BAY VIEW! The perfect buy-down-buyers dream, or for multigenerational living, with great separation, and wheelchair accessible spaces, there are many possibilities. Unassuming in the front, then step through the front door and WOW, a 3-bridge view! Enclosed garden in the front opens to a sunroom with a fireplace and a spacious kitchen, plus 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, all on the entry level.* Downstairs, you’ll find an additional 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a family room with a kitchen, or it might make the perfect in-law suite** with a level yard and Bay views! 2-car garage with work space + 2 car parking in the driveway. Bed and Bath count differs. Buyer to investigate.
