Imagine relaxing with a cold drink, surrounded by the vibrant fall colors as the trees change or watching the city’s dazzling Fourth of July fireworks light up the skyline!

The fully finished basement is a treasure trove of possibilities; complete with its own kitchen, a full bathroom, and a spacious rec room that could double as a studio apartment or in-law suite, making it an inviting area for extra living, out of town guests, or rental income.
