Recent improvements include a brand-new roof, stucco repairs, fresh exterior paint, and updated lighting, adding peace of mind while preserving the home's timeless charm. Energy efficiency is another standout, with an impressive 7 out of 10 Home Energy Score, well above the average of 5. Improvements include added insulation, solar, a tankless water heater, high-efficiency gas furnace, 17 SEER A/C, and a separate mini-split heat pump for the upper floor. The finished lower level has a separate exterior entrance and includes a family room, office, laundry area, and plenty of flexible space for guests, hobbies, or working from home. Outside, the terraced backyard is a gardener's dream, filled with mature & diverse plantings. A detached one-car garage completes the package.
