The kitchen includes solid cherry cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a comfortable eat-in area. The family room is warm and inviting with a brick fireplace and new sliding door (2024) leading to the freshly installed backyard patio and vegetable garden.

Recent updates include first-floor windows, sliding door, and custom treatments (2024), backyard patio (2023), water heater (2023), sump pump (2022), and fresh interior paint (2024).
