From the family room, you can step outside to the rear yard onto the large patio, perfect for BBQing and relaxing. The rear yard is fully fenced providing additional privacy along with a perfect place for your kids or furry four-legged friends to play. As a HUGE BONUS, the rear yard literally backs to a park!!
