The home offers approximately 2,200 square feet above grade and just over 1,000 finished square feet on the lower level. The sellers have embraced the multigenerational potential of this layout. At one point, a chair lift served the upper level while another family member lived comfortably downstairs — a clear reflection of how well this home adapts to changing needs. Though the chair lift has been removed, the flexibility remains. Just as this family has been committed to one another, that same diligence shows in the care they’ve given this home.
