The lower-level family room is a cozy hangout for movie nights with custom bookshelves, an eat-in bar, and a newer Jøtul wood stove. Sellers added a Sturdi-Built cedar and redwood greenhouse that supports year-round gardening, provides passive solar heat, and offers a space for winter exercise. Two additional bedrooms and a bathroom complete the lower level. A private sauna enhances comfort. Anderson double-paned wood windows and sliders in most of the home. Upgraded systems over the years.
