The second floor offers a primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a newly renovated shared bath. The finished third floor includes two more bedrooms and a full bath, providing flexible space for guests, work, or hobbies. The walk-out lower level features a family room, home gym area, full bath with laundry, and generous storage. A detached two-car garage completes the property, all within easy reach of Cushing Square, local shops, and the Payson Park Reservoir.
