Unlock the potential for nearly 1,200 sq ft of additional finished living or recreational space by transforming both the garage and the basement. Although these areas are not adjacent, each presents its own valuable opportunity to expand the home’s livable footprint. The basement already features a mini-split system for airt conditioning, generous ceiling height, and exterior access—making it an ideal candidate for a playroom, home theater, gym, office, and more. The above-grade garage can also be finished to create additional living space or even converted into another bedroom. The possibilities are endless!
PS: Drive by but do not drive up the driveway, as the property is an active vacation rental and guests cannot be disturbed. Thank you!
