The deck wraps around the back and side of the house. The upper level features a large family room (could be converted into another bedroom), a laundry room with laundry shoot, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The top level is the entire primary bedroom suite. There's a library/sitting area with custom built-ins and skylights, a private deck, and a vaulted bedroom area with a linen closet, walk in closet, and updated bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, two vanities, and a bonus linen closet. The skylights have custom shades if you want to close them.

There's also access to a covered deck which leads to outdoor area. The home features a detached garage with space for 3 cars, tons of storage, a bonus fridge and freezer.
