Exterior upgrades include a concrete sidewalk encircling the home, gutters, accordion shutters for the upgraded front door and sliders (with all other windows being impact glass), and an extended screened-in lanai. The HOA ensures a new roof installation every 17 years and pressure washing/paint for all homes every seven years.
