The backyard area is a peaceful retreat, with an enclosed wrap-around space, with lush greenery, rose bushes, and hydrangeas. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening dinner, or moments of relaxation and connection with nature. Soft exterior lighting enhances the atmosphere.
Three bedrooms are located on the main level, each accessible through the gallery. Two of the bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling closets with generous storage. There are two full-size bathrooms on the main level, both equipped with their own full bath and shower.
