The Septic was installed in 11/2011 and was pumped out in 2019 and again July 2022 with pump out and satisfactory inspection. WDIR is done for the new owner and treatment complete and paid! Gas line remains for fireplace or convert back to wood burning if you desire. Schedule a private showing- you'll be pleasantly surprised by the transformation!
