An expansive top-floor bedroom with its own full en suite bath offers privacy and versatility, ideal for a guest retreat or multigenerational living. The rarely available finished lower level provides 1,060 sq ft of flexible living space—ideal for a media room, gym, or playroom—further enhancing the home’s footprint and functionality.
Above the garage, a fully finished legal apartment (ADU – Accessory Dwelling Unit) includes a private entrance, full bath, and carpeted living area—perfect as a home office, guest suite, or income-producing rental. The garage itself has been upgraded with an epoxy-finished floor and painted drywall, elevating even the utility spaces with thoughtful design.
