Three spacious secondary bedrooms, a hall bath with double sinks, and a loft area round out this well-appointed space. The finished lower level is sure to be a hit with all ages, with large rec and play rooms, a full bath, and laundry with washer and dryer. Behind the scenes, the home is dialed in and ready, with a newer furnace and A/C, hot water heater, a fire protection sprinkler system, and an Angel Water filtration system with reverse osmosis for comfort and peace of mind. Step outside to a backyard that's been completely transformed - a new patio, new fence, and new stairs, all set against a lushly landscaped, fully fenced yard that's perfect for play, pets, and summer evenings.
