Essential Extras for Urban Living Garage Parking: A vital amenity in any city, provided by a two-car brick garage plus there is a parking curb large enough to add a 3rd exterior parking option Outdoor Amenities: Enjoy the convenience of enclosed rear porches and an automated underground sprinkler system to keep the landscaping pristine. Future Value in the lower level: A large, clean, and dry full basement is ready and waiting for your finishing touches-perfect for a rec room, home gym, or additional storage.
