This expansive 5-level split is a true gem, complete with a walkout basement. Step inside to the bright and sunny living room, which boasts a vaulted ceiling, creating an open and airy atmosphere. The adjacent kitchen with a cozy dinette area is perfect for everyday living, while the door to the backyard invites you enjoy and relax on the oversized deck with a morning coffee or evening meals.
