Recent improvements include new siding, new decks, updated lighting, hardwood floors throughout the main level, new carpeting upstairs, fully renovated bathrooms, and a renovated kitchen with quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, butcher block counters, and open shelving. Fresh interior paint throughout ties the spaces together, and the detached garage has a new metal roof. Recent improvements are outlined in the disclosure package.

The property is privately situated in a wooded setting above the shoreline. A walking trail within the subdivision leads to a shared waterfront lot and beach.
