The third floor is truly one-of-a-kind, offering endless possibilities. A vaulted room with a skylight captures breathtaking views that stretch across the savannah as far as the eye can see. A charming private "booth" room provides a cozy escape for reading or quiet reflection, while the expansive third-floor room, complete with its own stage, is perfect as a theater, studio, playroom, or creative space. The finished lower level offers something for everyone, including a spacious recreation room, a separate media/TV room, a dedicated workshop, and an enormous storage area. The unfinished portion of the basement, complete with tall ceilings and a fireplace. This presents incredible potential for future living space.
