The home has been extensively renovated with modern upgrades while maintaining its historic character. Updates include a new roof (2024), updated HVAC, new electrical and plumbing, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, custom cabinetry, new lighting, recessed lighting throughout, and solid red oak flooring in several living areas.

The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a peninsula with seating, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless appliances, opening into spacious living and dining areas perfect for entertaining.
