The remaining wing features a third bedroom or office, a smaller unheated room perfect for crafts, yoga or storage, and a very large bonus space with gorgeous bathroom.

The detached two-car garage has unfinished space above perfect for a studio. The house and grounds are so lovely you may never want to leave but when you do, you will love being in the heart of popular West Mount Airy.
