When remodeling the lower level for this purpose, the home owners considered future use and thought ahead to run the necessary plumbing and electrical within the walls to add a bathroom and utilize the space as additional living or an in-law unit.

A graceful patio of the rear of the home is the perfect summertime spot to hosting an outdoor dinner party or relax with a book in the fully fenced yard.
