Kitchen hardwood floors were refinished in 2025, and energy-efficient windows were installed throughout most of the home. The oversized 2-car garage is designed with integrated workshop space and flexible depth, comfortably accommodating two vehicles with ample room for watercraft accessories, golf carts, or recreational equipment.
