Does it have a basement, and is it finished?+
Yes — Finished, Full. A finished basement adds meaningful living space beyond the listed square footage.
Built in 2005 — is this considered new?+
A 2005 build means modern building codes, likely better insulation and wiring than older homes. Ask if any major systems (roof, furnace, windows) have been replaced — even newer homes need maintenance.
What's the parking situation?+
This property includes 2 spaces — Attached Garage.
How is the space laid out across floors?+
