The rear flat yard is fully fenced and has been lovingly landscaped, dotted with mature trees, plantings, and perennial herbs. It is a welcome respite from the summer heat. Upstairs you will find two well-sized bedrooms and a newly updated bath. On the top level is a third bedroom or office perfect for the telecommuters in your home.
