The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, along with a laundry room and half bath. The finished walkout basement offers exceptional flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, office/flex room, family room, utility room, recreation room, and plumbing already in place for a second kitchen and laundry area--making it ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or future expansion. The pool table conveys with the home for added enjoyment. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the oversized 650-square-foot heated and cooled two-car garage, while outdoor lovers will fall in love with the incredible waterfront amenities.
