Designed with comfort and functionality in mind, this home features a three-zone gas heating system, two-zone central air conditioning, and an in-ground sprinkler system for effortless year-round living. The beautifully finished basement dramatically expands the home's living space with an additional kitchen area, full bathroom, expansive recreation room, SECOND laundry area, storage, and exceptional flexibility for entertaining or extended living. Step outside into your own private backyard retreat. Designed for making memories, the resort style grounds feature a sparkling in ground pool, spacious patios, covered lounge area, lush landscaping, and beautifully maintained outdoor living spaces that make entertaining family and friends effortless all season long. Rarely does a property combine this level of size, flexibility, outdoor living, and pride of ownership on such a prominent corner parcel.
