Major systems have been well maintained, including a 2012 metal roof, 2012 water heater, and a brand-new HVAC system installed in 2024; and have peace of mind with a termite bond for preventative protection. Enjoy other notable features like updated windows, a fully fenced in backyard, sprinkler system, gutters, crown molding, recessed lighting, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring.
