Two additional bedrooms and a princess/guest suite with a private bath complete the second floor. The professionally landscaped and hardscaped yard includes bluestone pavers, outdoor lighting, and an in-ground sprinkler system with drip lines, while the backyard oasis features a built-in grill, bar, and outdoor fireplace, all surrounded by a 6-foot privacy fence. Fully gutted and renovated in 2018-2019, the home includes new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, Anderson windows (with 5 originals remaining), Hardie board siding, and Azek porches for low-maintenance durability, plus smart home systems like Ring, Nest, and Sonos speakers.
