The fully finished basement, with an outside entrance, offers additional versatility, whether as a recreation area, home office, or possible future guest suite.

The semi-circular driveway welcomes residents and guests to enjoy lush and private front, side and rear yards, and a gently sloping landscape adorned with mature trees. This serene outdoor space is perfect for relaxation or entertaining, with ample room for outdoor activities and gatherings. Enjoy the fresh air from the classic wraparound porch, where you can unwind and soak in the beauty of your surroundings.
