Enjoy serene views from the deck & gazebo situated on almost a half-acre of private property. There are four bedrooms & three renovated bathrooms with upscale modern deep tubs & fixtures. The bedroom on the first floor has its own bath & could easily become a full master, bedroom/au pair/ in- law suite with a few creative simple changes. There is a possibility of adding a half bath in this area. New gleaming hardwood floors throughout the first level. The lower level allows for additional storage. It would be a worthwhile investment to finish the lower level into livable space. This is a must see sought after neighborhood!
