The primary bathroom is also significantly updated with modern fixtures, custom vanity, and a spacious tiled shower. Other bathrooms are well-maintained and updated, though perhaps not as recently as the kitchen. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, and the property benefits from modern lighting, skylights, and solar panels.
