Ideal for working from home, creative pursuits, or additional guest accommodations, this bonus space offers endless possibilities. Plumbing was installed and remains available for future expansion, though it is currently capped. Adjacent to the structure is a covered patio that could serve as a carport, private outdoor gathering space, or shaded retreat. Tucked away nearby, you'll also find a hidden outdoor shower and a discreetly placed storage shed for tools and lawn equipment.Comfort and peace of mind abound thanks to a new HVAC system with central air conditioning installed in 2024, along with a heavy-duty washer and dryer added in 2025.Outside, extensive landscaping has revitalized the grounds, reopening fenced areas, enhancing privacy, and creating beautiful, usable outdoor spaces. Ample parking, mature landscaping, and thoughtfully designed outdoor amenities make this property as functional as it is inviting.With an effective year built of 2015 and a long list of meaningful upgrades, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of historic charm, modern convenience, and flexible living options.
