This versatile space includes a dedicated home theater with a projector and screen that convey with the home, a large recreation room, an additional flex area for hobbies, fitness, a game table, or casual seating, a full bathroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and generous unfinished space for a workshop or additional storage with convenient exterior access. Sliding glass doors lead directly to the covered lower patio, extending the living space outdoors. Upstairs, a freshly painted bonus room with a built-in twin bed and closet offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or bonus room. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a conveniently located laundry room complete the second floor. The upper deck overlooks a backyard with mature trees and a seasonal stream along the rear of the property that flows after periods of rain.
