At the back of the home are two spacious bedrooms with new corner windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The full bathroom was recently remodeled with new tile flooring, vertical shower tile, a marble-topped vanity, toilet, storage cabinet and elegant gold accents, creating a polished, designer-style retreat. The recently finished basement doubles your living space with new LVP flooring, updated electric, and recessed lighting.
