The family room includes a dual fireplace, and the walk-up finished basement provides even more space to spread out.

The attached 2-car heated garage is complemented by a detached 2-car workshop—fully equipped with heat, electricity, and water—perfect for projects, storage, or hobbies. Fenced-in yard. Key updates include a new roof (2021), A/C (2020), a sump pump (2024), and a whole-house generator with new battery (serviced annually).
