Extensively renovated while preserving its original charm, this turnkey home features an owned solar system, fully renovated kitchen and baths, dual-pane windows, new flooring, mini-split A/C throughout, EV charging, upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, and wainscoting throughout. The two-level layout includes a spacious lower-level primary suite with walk-in closet, sitting area and ensuite bath, plus a second bedroom and full bath on the main living level. Outdoor spaces offer a curated blend of privacy, low-maintenance living and inviting areas to relax and entertain, including a private jacuzzi.
