The master suite further impresses with a doorway that exits onto a gated flat garage roof, which doubles as a sun-kissed deck boasting magnificent views of both the front and the backyard. Moreover, a standup attic presents a practical solution to additional storage needs.
Experiment with the versatility of an open-concept basement, which comes with a convenient kitchen setup, including a sink with countertop, storage cabinets, and a dedicated laundry room with a washer and dryer.
