The Full finished basement with great floor to ceiling height doubles the living space featuring a large family/recreation room, a full bath that was updated in 2018, a huge storage room with built-in shelving that could also be a 4th bedroom with a little creativity, a dry bar area with ample countertops and cabinets for entertaining and storage, a laundry area with a 2nd stove and double utility sink.
