The hall bathroom also is modern and beautifully updated. On the lower level, there's a partially finished basement, currently used for storage, workshop and exercise room. All new insulation above the ceiling tiles and in the attic access doors for enhanced energy efficiency. A Nest thermostat was added as a Smart feature.
