Three generously sized bedrooms complete the second level, including a junior suite with private bath and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom both with new vanities from Lavish in Ardmore. The finished lower level adds incredible versatility with a custom bar, home theater area with projector and screen, California Closet storage system, half bath, and plenty of space for a home gym or playroom. Additional features of this home include a new French drain, new gutter and downspout systems and new dual-shade window treatments throughout.
