Brand new septic pump system and underground holding tanks (2024). The home also features a gas Vermont Castings stove, a large Defiant Vermont Castings wood-burning stove, and a pellet-burning stove in the family room. Built to last, this home boasts well-constructed 2x6 exterior walls, blown-in insulation, and reinforced steel vertical beams to withstand hurricane winds. Additionally, it is built above the floodplain, so no flood insurance is required.

Additional features include Brazilian cherry 5" plank flooring on both levels, a whole house audio system, and a first-floor master bedroom for convenient living. A large upright firearms fire-rated safe, a hot tub, and a 12x18 outdoor storage shed convey with the property.
