Extensively fortified and upgraded both functionally and aesthetically, the laundry list of functional improvements include a sprawling, improved basement with a full vapor barrier, in-ceiling lighting, upgraded plumbing throughout, updated 200amp electric, updated central heat/air and ductwork, and professionally-installed hardscape with gated off-street parking. Solid oak hardwood floor, in-ceiling LED lighting, and dual pane windows; a fully-remodeled chefs kitchen with matching stainless appliances, farmhouse sink and garden window, a tasteful blend of solid wood cabinetry and floating shelving, quartz countertops, and Craftsman-appropriate subway tile from countertop-to-ceiling; solid wood doors; and two fully-remodeled spacious bathrooms.
