The updated kitchen and bathrooms blend modern convenience with historic appeal, while the oversized primary suite features double vanities, separate tub and zero entry shower and large walk-in closet. Major updates include new tankless water heater, HVAC, electrical and plumbing in 2019. Exterior has a metal roof, fenced backyard, multiple porches and decks, and a large screened-in back porch perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
