Over the past five years, I have invested approximately $50,000 in preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance including , but not limited to: HVAC, plumbing/electrical upgrades, exterior and interior restoration, landscaping
These improvements were made with the goal of ensuring the property’s longevity and historic authenticity.
