The fully walk-out lower level provides additional storage and utility space, with even more storage available beneath the porch. Outside, a newer detached 2-car garage includes partially finished space above, offering exciting potential for future use. Buyers should verify permitted uses and any required approvals with Upper Mount Bethel Township. Major improvements include a new septic system installed in 2019 and roof replacement in 2021.
