Recent improvements include a fully renovated chef’s kitchen, updated electrical panel, new lighting, fresh interior paint, and a crawlspace drainage system with sump pump and new vapor barrier for peace of mind. Relax and unwind on the dreamy screened-in front porch - the perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, or an afternoon nap. The professionally landscaped front garden features drought-tolerant perennial plantings, while the backyard offers raised garden beds ready for spring planting, blooming perennials, and a spacious deck ideal for grilling and dining al fresco.
