Off the dining room, you’ll find an eat-in kitchen with a door that leads to an ample sized deck for grilling dinner or sipping your morning coffee. Stairs off the deck lead to a large, sun-kissed private backyard. The second floor houses a spacious primary bedroom, three additional bedrooms, and a full bath. In the basement, which can be accessed down a staircase from the kitchen or through a private entrance under the stoop, you will find high ceilings, a full bath, a laundry area, and storage closets. Here, the possibilities for use are endless. Create a comfy den to relax and watch TV in, a home gym, a media room, a play area, or any combination you’d like.
