The main level features a cozy living area with LVP flooring and a fireplace along with a spacious kitchen. Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms — one serving as a walk-through to the other, creating flexible options for a nursery, office or sitting room. The walk-through bedroom provides access to an unfinished third-floor space already equipped with electric, just needs heat — a great opportunity to expand into a possible third bedroom, studio or playroom. A full bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet complete the second floor. The full basement includes a Bilco door!
