The front vestibule has two private entry doors: one into the main home, and one into the apartment.

Upstairs the sunlit catwalk overlooks the Family Rm and leads into the Primary Suite.

There is a Suncast shed; fenced pet area; plus the property itself is fenced on three sides (imagine a future pool!). The 2 Patios and the side walkway to the back are all framed with paver stones --- as is the oversized driveway ideal for trailers/trucks/RVs/parking for 8+ vehicles.
