Encapsulated crawl space for improved indoor air quality and energy efficiency ($20K+ value). Upgrades & Improvements Since 2019: Custom closet renovations with elongated doors and Elfa shelving systems in all bedrooms. Hunter Douglas blinds throughout for style and privacy. Thoughtful landscaping with native plants, knockout roses, and a flowering dwarf cherry tree. Custom aluminum wrap to preserve and protect the original front door frame. Wired for Verizon Fios high-speed fiber optic internet. ADT home security system with glass-break sensors, remote access, and dual-level controls. Under-sink Hydroviv water filtration system for purified drinking water. Freshly caulked and painted front porch. Brand new refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser.
