Some of the aesthetic features the owners added to the property included wainscoting, a motorized awning for the patio area, French Doors to the office, electrical upgrades, fans, window film, automatic window shades, and window treatments. The sellers also installed foam insulation and a generator and did more extensive landscaping on the property.
