Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with the possibility of a 4th bedroom, additional full bathrooms, and large walk-in closets throughout, providing exceptional storage and comfort for family and guests alike. The updates continue throughout the home with a brand-new roof, new windows throughout, new flooring, new light fixtures, new mini-split systems, and a new hot water heater. The sewer line has also been replaced from the house to the street—an important improvement for added peace of mind.
