The outside or the property has landscape lighting, integrated sprinkler system, a 543 square foot patio, and a 510 square foot beautifully finished breezeway(heated) with a built in grill. This lot has a concrete walk way to the boat dock that would be good for biking or riding your golf cart. The boat dock has 2 boat slips, a full kitchen and bath, and plenty of storage.
