The over-sized two car custom garage is a "deluxe man-cave" for anyone w/ a project or just a great spot to enjoy some private time with a favorite hobby. Entering the home, you will see the open concept throughout the living areas and kitchen and beyond to the wonderful greenbelt area in the back of the home.
