There is still plenty of room left in the rear yard even with the enormous garage. There is a side door off the driveway that leads to a BONUS room with endless possibilities to use as a den, craft room, or office with a separate entrance. The family room is a wonderful gathering space for the entire family and large enough for the best of entertainment. There is an attractive fireplace with a wooden mantle and slate hearth. Bring all the furniture you want, there surely is enough room to create your own outstanding entertaining or comfortable living space. So you have a great split level home, a unbelievable garage so what else would you need?. a basement of course. One of the rare split level models that have a true basement just a half flight of stairs down. Plenty of room for storage and great laundry space too. Currently there are some walls dividing the space which the owner will gladly remove if the buyer requests. If you were wondering about the bedrooms, they are generous sized with good closet space. The owner's bedroom has a walk-in closet and an additional closet. The hall bathroom has been remodeled with stylish fixtures, an updated vanity, tub and enclosure. This outstanding location provides EZ access for most any commute and is close to major shopping and nearby parks. There is an updated gas furnace and roof too! We can surely say, this home has it all! Come see for yourself, but don't delay for it will surely vanish from the market in no time! House and yard photos were from previous listing. Garage photos are new!
