Downstairs, usable storage, a sump pump with recent waterproofing & tiling which includes an active radon mitigation system, a SECOND washer/dryer set (2026, also included), & a top-tier on-demand tankless water heater, brand-new furnace & A/C; all installed in 2026! A fully enclosed, newer cedar privacy fence (2021), a handy storage shed (included!), a 1-stall detached garage with a newer concrete floor, insulation, and drywall (2021), and additional private parking right off the back alley! This home also boasts energy-efficient Pella double-hung windows, a 5-year-old sewer line replacement at the street, and a Leaf Guard gutter system for those mature trees!
