Another flexible room could serve as a bedroom, office, or hobby space; this room does not have a closet. A covered patio extends the living space outdoors and offers another wonderful spot to take in the pond views. Additional features include a storm shelter located beneath the front porch and an attached two-car garage that has a fenced-in area off the back.
