BACKGROUND: Although the home has been on the market for more than a year, in reality the home has been in full rehab mode until its very recent completion this summer. The current owner purchased this house in late 2017 when it was in much disrepair and not befitting its grand potential. Nearly every inch of the home and property has been upgraded, including such major improvements as newly-installed central AC, upgraded electrical/plumbing, full restoration of hardwood floors, brand new design of kitchen, pantry, and mud room, new energy-efficient windows throughout, widening of the driveway, patio and deck additions, landscaping, and tree removal for improved outdoor enjoyment.
