A powder room and laundry nook complete the space. Upstairs is home to 3 spacious bedrooms, complete with a custom-built closet in the primary bedroom.The separate basement apartment has its own private access at the rear of the home.

Both units have walkouts to the spacious backyard. A large two-car garage rounds out the home. Work completed with permits!

The two suites enjoy complete separation, backed by ROXUL Safe insulation which provides fire resistance and sound control. The original cast iron radiators were refinished and preserved to keep the character of the home. Each unit has its own separately billed hydrometer!
