The space
This is a basement apartment. My husband and I are empty nesters and live upstairs. You will have a completely separate entrance from the main part of the house by following the sidewalk around back. You will enter into a large open floor plan with the living room, office area, dining area, and kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms: 2 with king beds and 1 with 2 full beds. There is also a queen-sized airbed to allow 10 guests. A large bathroom with the double sink separated from the toilet/shower will allow some to get ready at the sinks while someone else is showering or using the restroom.

The question we get the most is if the pool is shared with anyone else. It is our family pool, so there is a chance either we or our grandchildren could be there, but it would be for a limited amount of time. At this point, we have never had an issue with this.

Guest access
Follow the sidewalk around to the back of the house for your private entrance. There is an optional entrance through the garage, into the laundry room, and down the stairs. This would still be private, separated by a locked door from our living space.
