A 216 sq ft storage shed adds even more flexibility for tools, toys, or hobbies.

Inside, the main level features an open, comfortable layout with quality finishes and great natural light.

The walkout basement extends your living space with a cozy fireplace, a full bar, and room to gather, entertain, or unwind. You’ll also appreciate the generous storage throughout—something that’s hard to find and even harder to replace.

Additional features include a whole-house water filtration system and water softener for added comfort and peace of mind.

With a 3-car garage, spacious lot, and a location that blends neighborhood living with natural surroundings, this home offers a lifestyle that’s both practical and hard to replicate.
