Nearly New Ranch on 1.15 Acres with Walkout Basement & Scenic Views

The 2,380 sq. ft. walkout basement offers 9’ ceilings, large windows, and a patio slider, bringing in plenty of natural light (1,350 sq ft finished). The lower level includes a large open entertaining area, 4th bedroom and full bath, plumbing and electrical roughed in for a bar or kitchenette, a large utility room with flooring for workout space, and a storm shelter under the front porch.
Additional features include single and double car garages on the main level and a lower-level garage for equipment or recreational toys.
A rare opportunity to enjoy space, views, and modern construction just on the edge of town. ??
