Two additional, sunny, generous bedrooms, both big enough to fit king beds, and both with large closets and a trendy, roomy, bright hallway bath with linen closet complete this level. Head down to the tall, dry basement for additional space - currently used as a gym - with the mechanicals, laundry and storage; plenty of space for a future generous family room or play area.
