New carpet lines the staircase, offering a soft transition between floors. Need even more room? The newly renovated basement provides versatile space--ideal for a family room, home office, gym, or storage. Step outside to enjoy the concrete patio, perfect for grilling or lounging while overlooking your fenced-in backyard.
