The grounds are enhanced with pollinator-friendly perennials, a 16' x 16' fenced raised-bed garden, and established blueberry and blackberry bushes. Recent upgrades include a 2022 roof with a 50-year transferrable warranty and a new tankless water heater in 2025. Sellers offering a 1-year HSA Home Warranty.
