Other things to note
The home and pool have both been extensively renovated. Landscaping is the only item still outstanding, and the current price reflects a discount for that. Landscaping will be completed in early spring 2027 and may include grass, ground work up to the decks, a fire pit, and a playground — none of which are included in the sale as it stands.
