Outside, the 0.13-acre lot includes a hardscaped courtyard with fountain, outdoor cooking area, seating space, and opportunities for container gardening. Lovingly maintained over the past two decades by current owners, notable improvements include a major kitchen and primary bath remodels, exterior paint, plumbing and electric upgrades, chimney flue replacement, professionally designed and landscaped courtyard by Gaia Landscaping, recently, mini splits in 4 South-facing rooms, floor refinishing, carpet replacement, interior paint in many areas, a new water heater, DEQ certified oil tank decommissioning, and four rebuilt windows.
