This home has undergone a comprehensive electrical upgrade to ensure safety, efficiency, and long-term reliability. All wiring has been brought up to current state and local codes, and the project includes a two-year labor and parts warranty. Rodent- and corrosion-proof screens have been installed on any openings larger than ¼ inch, and electrical permits are included. Any unsafe or outdated wiring uncovered during the renovation has been corrected. Air-tight electrical boxes have been installed in exterior walls and ceilings adjacent to attic spaces where needed.

Interior updates include new white outlets throughout the home (excluding the kitchen), new ceiling light fixtures in all three upstairs bedrooms and main floor rooms (provided by TCHFH), and a new bath fan in the upper-level bathroom. The basement dryer outlet has been replaced with a GFCI outlet for added safety. On the main floor, the kitchen ceiling fan has been replaced with a new light fixture, and the bathroom light switch has been updated. Exterior improvements include the installation of two new exterior light fixtures (TCHFH standard), all new Energy Star-rated LED bulbs, and the use of durable, contractor-supplied switches and outlets. This extensive electrical work ensures modern functionality and peace of mind for future homeowners.

Cottage Grove's strong sense of community is evident through its array of events and activities. The annual Strawberry Fest at Kingston Park is a highlight, featuring parades, live music, and fireworks.
