The fully fenced grounds include an electric entry gate, Zoysia lawn, detached building with electricity, and newer concrete driveway. Additional improvements include a 2020 roof, Generac whole-home generator, rebuilt and reinforced main-level rear porch, two new water heaters, clean-air purification system, updated attic insulation and HVAC ductwork, and much more.
