Additional features include a Robern LED medicine cabinet with outlets and USB ports, a magnification mirror, new wall insulation, and dual step-in closets—one fully customized with cedar floors, drawers, shelving, and motion lighting. In 2025, the laundry room, powder room, and guest bathroom were refreshed with new quartzite counters, modern undermounted sinks and faucets. The guest bath remodel also included a new porcelain tile shower and flooring, updated drywall and baseboard and fresh paint. Set on a generous . 518-acre lot, the exterior offers fresh stain, a firesafe concrete tile roof with full waterproof underlayment, a stamped concrete patio and walkways, and expansive entertaining decks on both east and west sides for optimal sun and shade.
