The partially finished basement expands your living and hobby space with a family/TV area, dry bar, a dedicated workshop area, and a built-in wine cellar/bomb shelter! Yes, I said bomb shelter, -a truly unique piece of this home's history! Two one -car garages with 12' ceilings offer additional functionality and valuable attic storage. Major improvements include a roof replaced in 2020, furnace in 2022, rebuilt front and rear steps in 2022, and a water softener in 2023, along with a newer high efficiency water heater.
