Additional improvements include a new foundation under the dining room, an encapsulated crawl space, and updated light and ceiling fan fixtures in the living room, kitchen, dining room, upstairs suite, and hallway. Outside, enjoy a brand-new oversized rear deck for entertaining, a privacy-fenced backyard, and a detached garage with a new electric door and updated electrical system. Solar panels add energy efficiency and savings, with the loan ready to transfer to the new owner.
