The element of design and attention to detail carries into the finished walkout basement with full light windows, wood support beams and accents, and custom hand carved details. The main living area has an impressive stone fireplace with a high-end wood burning oven that is large enough to cook your thanksgiving turkey. The second kitchen and dining area offer another great space for entertaining, as well as a private retreat for your overnight guests.
