About this home

The unique architectural style of this classic 4/3.5 home sets it apart. Roof was replaced in 2025, the heat pump HVAC in 2021, tankless water heater in 2022, and massive solar-panel array in 2022. The solar panels produced excess electricity in the summer (owner keeps it cold) and the vast majority of heating needs in winter, saving thousands. The patio was professionally enclosed and functions as a wonderful flex room. The kitchen awaits renovation with your unique personalization. Fireplace is currently non-functional.
