The expansive lot offers rare potential to add living space or enhance outdoor amenities. Inside, recent improvements include new lighting throughout, a newer water heater, upgraded door hardware, fresh exterior paint, and refreshed interior paint. The kitchen features painted cabinetry, new hardware, laminate flooring, updated plumbing fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, and includes a freestanding sideboard and banquette. Both bathrooms have been updated with new plumbing fixtures and flooring. The black-and-white bathroom includes a new low-flow toilet and professionally reglazed bathtub, countertops, and tile baseboards. Upgraded electrical outlets throughout the home include select outlets with built-in USB charging ports. The private primary suite enjoys direct access to the backyard and covered patio, creating a peaceful indoor-outdoor retreat. Additional highlights include a 220-volt EV charging outlet, Ring doorbell, updated exterior lighting, garage improvements, and an above-ground pool with a programmable timer-controlled pump.
