Inside, enjoy tasteful upgrades such as a new tongue-and-groove ceiling in the dining room, modern light fixtures, and custom built-ins, well-suited for a home office space. The updated kitchen has stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, and a large closet that could also be utilized as a Butler's Pantry. The removal of old above-ground oil tanks further enhances the home’s aesthetics and functionality. The detached garage has been artfully remodeled and has operated as a successful Airbnb.
