The finished basement features a spacious family room centered around a wood burning fireplace, creating a natural gathering space. A built in bar adds character and function, while extensive storage, a utility room, and a dedicated laundry area with sink keep everything organized and efficient. A gas furnace supports consistent heating and helps keep utility costs in check.
