The home has numerous upgrades, including board-and-batten wall paneling, designer carpeting, high-end tile flooring, elegant window coverings (wood shutters), and custom mirror frames made of walnut in the master and downstairs bathrooms, all of which make the home charming. It is also equipped with whole-house water and reverse osmosis drinking filtration systems and solar panels that keep energy costs low. The garage features a tankless water heater and ample storage. The private backyard is upgraded with turf, pavers, gas fireplace and mature olive tree.
