Outdoor living is equally inviting, with the screened-in porch offering a private setting to relax and entertain. Large sliding doors provide an elegant connection between the interior and outdoor living spaces with French doors connecting you to the beautifully landscaped backyard. The professionally refreshed landscaping includes added privacy bushes, new mulch, and a dedicated concrete slab for the trash enclosure.
