Above, the expansive unfinished attic provides abundant storage and exciting possibilities for future customization. Major improvements have already been completed, including a new roof and high-efficiency furnace in 2025, new copper plumbing, glass-block windows, new interior and exterior doors, a rebuilt rear porch, and fresh privacy fencing. A brand-new central air conditioning system will be installed before closing, adding even more comfort and value.
