Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bath featuring a double quartz vanity and classic subway-tile tub and shower surround. The spacious Lower Level provides even more versatile living space with a large Family Room anchored by a true wood-burning fireplace, plus a fourth bedroom and second full bath.
