Continue downstairs is a full unfinished basement, including a utility/storage room with newer HVAC system, and a main workout/rec room. Steps up from the main level are three nicely sized bedrooms and an updated full hall bathroom. Continue upstairs to the large primary suite including multiple closets, and a full bathroom.
