The walk-out lower level features a full bath, second kitchen, and spacious living area with views of the private backyard—perfect for guests, multigenerational living, recreation, or extended stays. Thoughtfully enhanced over recent years with striking stone and HardiePlank exterior finishes, a screened porch with fireplace, and low-maintenance outdoor living spaces.
