Fenced back yard is an outdoor retreat with a huge deck and pergola and pretty landscaping. House has tons of storage and a usable deep-pour basement. Attractive heated detached 2+ car "man's" garage with newer electric, siding and roof. Furnace replaced 2014. Air conditioner replaced 2016. This home has it all. Move in and enjoy!
