The interior of the home is warm and inviting, with large living spaces and cheerful colors. The separate office/work area building is just steps away from the California room and can be tailored to suit any need. A two-car attached garage is available, along with ample parking for cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and toys. The grounds are spacious in both the front and rear of the parcel with various fruit and avocado trees and ample space for adding a sizable pool and spa.
