The lower level includes a recreation room, utility room, and two extensive storage rooms. The expansive 100 x 190 yard features a dog run, basketball hoop, jungle gym, and plenty of play area. A concrete driveway provides rare entry from both the street and the alley, leading to a two-car detached garage.
