The beautifully landscaped grounds include a pond with waterfall, gazebo, and gardens, offering a true backyard retreat.The finished third floor provides an excellent bonus space, currently used as a grandkids' playroom, complete with a Belvedere-style raised skylight. The lower level is high, dry, and features a walk-out to the backyard, plenty of storage, and is already plumbed for a future bathroom, offering great potential for additional living space. Numerous updates include a high-efficiency natural gas furnace, updated electrical and plumbing, and updated windows. The home also features central vacuum.
