Large windows fill the home with natural light while two fireplaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main living area opens to a massive Trex deck made for entertaining, with a covered patio below that extends outdoor living year round. The primary bath features a spa style steam shower and jetted soaking tub combo with glass enclosure, body jets, rainfall showerhead, and built in seating for a true at home retreat. A fully finished basement apartment offers ideal space for guests, multigenerational living, or short term rental potential.
