The 3rd floor contains 2 more large bedrooms, walk -in closet, and a shared full bath. Thoughtful storage abounds throughout the home, including a large attic and built-ins. The finished daylight basement offers even more versatility with a studio suite - complete with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bath - ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or creative space.
