Major improvements include an owned furnace, central air and hot water tank, all replaced in 2023, plus a roof updated in 2015.The lower level offers impressive flexibility with unusually large windows providing abundant natural light, a separate walkout, generous living space and a recently updated bathroom with a large tiled roll-in shower.Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. The extraordinary 100' x 150' lot has been lovingly cultivated with established vegetable and herb gardens, raspberries, red and green grapes, four varieties of pear trees and a Red Delicious apple tree.
