The oversized driveway leads to a 38x37 workshop that includes tons of storage, a dedicated office space wired for cable and Wi-Fi, and even an additional shed in the backyard for more space. The home features an open-concept layout with no carpet, generous living and dining areas, built in bookshelves with bench seating and storage, and a spacious primary suite with French doors that open to the beautifully shaded backyard. The primary bathroom includes a large walk-in closet, granite countertops, and a unique antique cast iron clawfoot tub with original die-cast dating of 1919!
