No detail has been spared on high-value, big-ticket upgrades that reduce your monthly spend and eliminate future hassle: an efficient, owned ~8 kW solar array, newer roof, HVAC, septic, some new windows, new insulation, and a new driveway with an EV charger. Outside, enjoy supreme peace of mind. The home is fully hardened against fire with a Wildfire Partners Certification, fire-resistant metal detailing, and non-combustible fencing and decking. The interior features new hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and a garage with a built-in workbench.
