The dining space overlooks the sunroom and swimming pool, is filled with natural light, and is the perfect place to gather for morning coffee. The second bathroom serves the other bedroom and guests with double sinks and a custom-tiled stand-up shower.

A beautiful, bright sunroom overlooks the custom in-ground pool. Family and guests can access it through the French doors of the sunroom or the oversized laundry and bonus room that both lead to a covered deck, which serves as an extension of your living space and where you can sit under fans to cool off and relaxa delightful place to retreat and unwind. The 14’ x 28’ pool has a concrete patio area, a vinyl-sided pool equipment shed, and is fenced in for safety and privacy. Just outside the fence are two buildings to serve as storage/creative space or that could be used as a business. A 16’x24’ storage shed in the backyard offers concrete floors, overhangs, and 100 amp electrical service. In the side yard, and accessible by way of a circle drive, is a 30’ x 40’ red iron shop with a roll-up door and side entrance off the covered 20’ x 30’ overhang. It is plumbed for a bathroom and has 200 amp electric service of its own. The circle drive provides access from both Sampson Avenue and Mountain View Drive. With a change in zoning, you could establish a business in the shop, which includes a bathroom, concrete floors, and room to create or store equipment, bikes, or vehicles.
