The entire lower level is soundproofed, perfect for music, parties, or movie nights. One of the built-ins beside the fireplace doubles as a secret door hidden in plain sight that opens to a private theatre room, adding a unique cool factor. A fifth bedroom and full bath complete the basement guest suite.
