This bonus room area was used as a fourth bedroom by the sellers - it offers so much versatility and extra space in this home! Other unique features of the home include a laundry chute to the basement, and several storage rooms in the large basement, which has an interior perimeter drain. The HVAC was updated in 2021, water heater replaced in 2021, and the roof was replaced in 2015. Some newer windows. All appliances to remain with home.
