The main bedroom and full bath are off the front hall, while a second bedroom off the family room offers exterior access, doubling as a home office or as part of a future primary suite. The bright walk-out lower level includes a sink, refrigerator and simple bar-ideal as an art studio or for hosting move night in the adjacent recreation room with its homey wood paneling and a second wood-burning fireplace.
