AC was added for those hot summer days. The exterior has been enhanced with a mass for the cable and electric, with wires buried for a clean look on the lot. The electrical system has been upgraded to include GFCI outlets near water sources and grounded outlets in each room. A high-efficiency furnace was installed in 2009, along with a humidifier, but former owner left the electric baseboards in the home in the event that the furnace ever went out in the winter. Additional updates include water heater, windows, siding, and roof, as well as plumbing improvements from the utility area to the bathroom and new drywall ceilings in the living room, hall and dining area on the lower level. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the track system lighting designed to showcase artwork, along with a museum-quality art suspension system that allows for easy hanging without damaging walls.
