Bath updates include new tile floor and tub replaced in hall bath and primary bath shower stall replaced in 2025. The exterior trim was repainted, and front exterior stucco was also recently refreshed with elastomeric waterproof paint. The septic system with new piping to drain field was replaced in 2011, with a recently identified repair to be completed prior to closing.
