Above the insulated three-car garage, bonus space offers endless potential for a studio, office, or future expansion. Outside, an expansive patio sets the stage for evenings by the wood-burning fireplace. This incredible home shows even better in person! The extensive updates and immaculate condition are evident throughout every level of this home!
