The home also features a new roof and fresh interior and exterior paint, completed in 2026. Plumbing and electrical have also been updated. Outside, the property is nearly fully fenced and offers a covered front porch, rear deck, and dedicated off-street parking via the alley. Pre-inspected, well-maintained, and turn-key, this home has been thoughtfully improved and clearly cared for.
