The main level features a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and abundant natural light, along with a living room, kitchen, sunroom, bedroom, and a dining room that could be reconfigured to suit a variety of future layouts. Both the main level and finished lower level include their own washer and dryer, adding convenience for everyday living. The finished lower level also offers a second kitchen, half bathroom, sunroom, generous living space, and a separate entrance, creating excellent potential for an in-law suite or future conversion opportunities.
