Highlights include: central air in 2020, furnace in 2021, electrical panel in 2020, water heater in 2023, whole house water filter system in 2024, new composite front and side porches, a rebuilt garage, asphalt driveway replaced with concrete, updated vinyl siding with aluminum fascia, extensive plumbing upgrades with copper, and a repaired waste stack in 2024. You'll find thoughtful details throughout the home, including abundant moulding, some original hardwood flooring, a dining room bench with buffet storage, generous kitchen cabinetry, updated countertops, stainless steel appliances, flat LED can lights, and several improvements to the both bathrooms.
