Renovation included a new foundation, new roof section, new front porch, new rear deck off the kitchen, off-street parking, new electrical wiring & ductwork, new windows & doors, pre-wired for an electric vehicle charger and much more! In keeping with the 1912 Craftsman style, the home boasts grand historic style with modern updates & high end finishes.
