Having a separate gaming area was nice with two sons who game. The foosball table battles were epic! The living room is very nice sized. The house definitely has room for people to spread out! Between the front porch, enclosed & not, back yard, large living room, dinning room, 3 bedrooms & the basement love it! Having two bathrooms is a real perk! We enjoyed the bath as well.
