Downstairs, the finished walkout lower level offers two more bedrooms and a full kitchen, ready to become your go-to space for entertaining, guests, or separate living quarters.

It runs almost silently, outlasts a traditional furnace and AC by years, and moves heat through underground piping instead of burning fossil fuels, shrinking your carbon footprint. A gas forced-air furnace serves as backup. Drain tile with sump pump, a low-maintenance stucco exterior, a security system, and a spot on the bus line round out this lakeside gem.
