The primary suite is a true retreat with an updated bathroom and a cedar lined walk in closet. Above the main living area, a loft offers endless possibilities as a home office, a fourth bedroom, a reading hideaway, or an open studio. The fully finished basement includes a large recreation room that works equally well for movie nights, fitness equipment, or gaming. Recent improvements include a new roof and well pressure tank installed in 2022 and a water conditioning system from 2021. A hybrid furnace offers the choice of electric, oil, or wood heat.
