Recent updates enhance the property's appeal, including a new HVAC system with a furnace, evaporator coil, ductwork, and line set for central air installed in 2023.

Security is upgraded with Mul-T-Lock Junior cylinder locks, and all new double-paned windows with screens have been installed by Vila Windows. A new glass back door complements the updates.

Electrical improvements include upgraded outlets in kitchens, added outlets in the backyard, motion detector lights at the front gate and backyard, and a revamped basement electrical panel with proper wiring and LED fixtures.
