The finished basement adds valuable living space with recessed lighting and a full bathroom, offering flexible areas for recreation, guests, or a home office. Major upgrades include 200-amp electrical service, lead water service replaced with copper, and a dual-fuel HVAC system with heat pump and gas backup, and spray foam insulation for improved efficiency and comfort. A Lorex security system is also included. Outside, the spacious backyard features the oversized 3-car garage with an 8-foot overhead door and full attic storage, plus potential to add a driveway for additional parking.
