Parking is abundant with a 2.5-car garage built in 2012 and additional parking to accommodate up to ten vehicles. This home was completely remodeled down to the studs between 2011 and 2013, including a dimensional roof with 30-year shingles. Additional updates include a new septic system in 2014, a new well in 2016, dual-zone heating with a high-efficiency furnace and first-floor air conditioning installed in 2018, and a new underground irrigation system added in 2022.
