The finished lower level received significant enhancements in 2026, including a brand-new media room, a newly added full bathroom, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. This versatile extension of the home offers exceptional space for movie nights, recreation, entertaining, and relaxed everyday living. Outdoors, professionally designed landscaping, a welcoming paver walkway, and an expansive paver patio create a beautiful backdrop for entertaining or quiet relaxation. Additional highlights include a three-car garage with easy-care flooring, a whole-house generator, and a roof installed in 2022.
