Utilities are a breeze with Olde Stage Water and Xcel natural gas, and peace of mind comes from the whole-house Generac generator for uninterrupted power. Fire mitigation is already done and the property is certified by Wildfire Partners. The home includes sun space, southern exposure, double pane windows, and an attached greenhouse.
