Refinished hardwood floors flow from the versatile great room. through the dining room, kitchen and the family room. Perfect home for entertaining as you can see through to the entire main level as you step into the welcoming foyer. Though technically a split-level, it lives like a step ranch, with 3 bedrooms and a walk-up finished attic on the second level, complete with an upgraded bath. The lookout lower level finished basement provides a large rec/media room, OR a private primary BR suite with a spectacular remodeled 2nd bath. Room for an sepaarte office or workout space as well. it's quite versatile to easily adapt to many lifestyles. The laundry center, and easy access to a concreted crawl space for excellent storage is also on the lower level.
