A separate laundry area with sink, large walk-in pantry, second refrigerator and abundant additional storage add to the functionality of this level, which also offers convenient walk-out access to the backyard. Newer mechanicals include heat pump and space pack and 2 water heaters. The flat roof lining was replaced around 2017.
