Also improved, the garage features brand new door motors tied into the home network, and the adjacent mud room has been refreshed with a suite of striking custom cabinetry. The south-facing backyard is a private oasis with mature trees and excellent sun exposure, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Plans for a potential pool and additional dwelling unit are available, providing future expansion opportunities. Furthermore, a significant area in the roof space with 8-foot clearance could be developed into an additional room, potentially adding 800 to 1,000 square feet to the already spacious home.
