The adjacent family room offers a wall-to-wall built-in entertainment center with open shelving and sliding glass doors leading to the backyard deck.

The finished basement with impressive 9-foot ceilings provides exceptional additional living space, featuring a spacious recreation room, exercise room, playroom, third full bath with walk-in shower, cedar-lined walk-in closet, workshop, and abundant storage throughout. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a welcoming front porch overlooking a picturesque tree-lined street and a private, fully fenced backyard oasis featuring mature shade trees, lush flowering perennials, an irrigation system, landscape lighting, an expansive Ipe deck, a bluestone patio with multiple seating areas and an oversized 2.5-car garage with storage.
