Off the rec room youll find the laundry room, a utility room, and a bonus room with lots of potential as a home office, hobby space, gym, or a possible bedroom if an egress window were installed. Outside, the newly installed dug well is deep and provides a reliable water supply. Both the home and grounds have been well maintained, and it truly shows.
