The bathroom features double vanity, and heated towel racks.  Two more sizable bedrooms and another full bathroom are also on this level.  The third floor features an open den space, perfect for a cozy tv room or even an exercise space.  Two more bedrooms and a hall bathroom round out this level.  A bonus attic space could be fully finished for a playroom or used in its' current condition as a storage space.  The lower level is finished with a front room, a great laundry room, and a mostly finished bedroom suite that includes a roughed out bathroom.  So many thoughtful upgrades have been added to the home to make it a comfortable space including full smart home features, spray foam insulation, double-paned insulated windows, Brazilian oak floors on the first floor and original pine floors on the upper levels, two-zoned HVAC, Yamaha ceiling speakers on the first and third floors, and so much more!  Conveniently situated to take advantage of all the neighborhood has to offer, this is the perfect place to call home!
