Three bright and sunny bedrooms, two renovated baths, and a fourth attic bedroom with its own spacious walk-in closet complete the top two floors. The lower level features a large bonus room with an updated ensuite bath offering the flexibility to use the space as a 5th bedroom or as a recreation room. Notable updates include new HVAC in 2020 and a new hot water heater in 2019.
