Upstairs, an upgraded bathroom with heated floors, marble wainscotting, and countertops compliment the original charm while serving the three bedrooms on this floor.  The sleek soaker tub is surrounded with the same marble tiles and offers a large rainfall shower head with handheld shower combo.

With newly installed warm hardwood floors throughout this level, the primary bedroom features a double closet, triple windows overlooking the beautiful Maple tree, crown moulding and plenty of space for a king bed and clothing storage. The second bedroom offers the same views with a single closet and desk nook, while the third, spacious bedroom looks out over the deep back yard and offers a decorative single stained-glass window and double closets.

The fully finished lower level includes a media room with built-in cabinets, soft carpeting, recessed lighting and above-ground windows. The large, open space has room for the large sectional sofa (included) and makes an ideal teenager’s retreat or kids play area.  Off the media room is a guest bedroom with double closets and two above-ground windows. There’s a second, fully renovated and sleek 3-piece bathroom to serve the lower level as well as a very spacious laundry room with utility sink, Whirlpool washer / dryer and tons of countertops, cabinetry and shelving.

A side entrance allows access to the lower level and additional storage for coats and boots.  The shared mutual drive leads to a detached 1 car garage and access to the fully fenced in back yard.
