Next, we’d like to offer some various sketches of the home along with some additional information you might like to be aware of:

One of the many great things about this home is how easily one can change Shop & Office area in the basement to a “Mother-In-Law” Suite.

Just below here is the plan that would turn the two offices and shop in the basement into a Living Room, Entryway, Garage, Bedroom, Kitchen, Pantry, Laundry and Bathroom.

Below the plan are some notes on this possible conversion.   And please note that rough-in work is already completed.

FUTURE “MOTHER-IN-LAW” SUITE/APARTMENT CONVERSION - WITH DIMENSIONS

.

Notes on this possible conversion:

• Wall blocking and headers in place for walls and doors
• All plumbing, electrical, and ductwork in walls for Kitchen, Bath, and Laundry appliance fixtures.
• Range and dryer equipped for gas or electric fuel
• Security system and doorbells can be partitioned to have separate control of apartment
• Electrical and lighting wired to accommodate or easily convert to convenient control for apartment
• All systems designed to meet code requirements if converted
