Just down the hall is an inviting primary bedroom complete with en-suite, walk-in closet and private vanity space making this a true retreat. The basement offers a lovely recreation, gym space or flex along with an additional bedroom. The generous living areas of this home complete with a 2.5-car garage add both practicality and comfort.
