This home also features a spacious attic, providing extra storage space and five spaces for parking. Step outside to discover a beautifully landscaped yard that backs to trees, offering a perfect blend of beauty and functionality. Whether you're hosting outdoor gatherings on the deck or patio, indulging in some gardening, or simply enjoying a quiet moment in the fresh air, this outdoor space will quickly become one of your favorite features of the home. The front porch is a beautiful southern-style wrap-around with round columns, and the large back porch is screened in, providing additional living spaces to relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.
