Plenty of storage and workshop potential in the 1560 square foot walkout basement with radiant heat and running water. Recent upgrades include and new EPDM rubber roof, a high efficiency combo boiler, and new appliances within the past five years, all with documentation available. The outdoor spaces are equally special.
