The home's curb appeal shines with a new front porch, sidewalk, and window (2020), landscaping (2021), and a new back patio (2024), perfect for outdoor entertaining. A custom fire pit area (2023) and freshly leveled backyard with newly planted grass (2025) further extend your living space outdoors.
