Outdoor living is just as impressive with a lush, fenced backyard showcasing truly exceptional landscaping! The beautifully maintained grounds feature over two dozen cold-hardy palms, fruit-bearing trees, multiple Japanese maples including dwarf varieties, and an abundance of flowering plants that create a pollinator's paradise, attracting bees and hummingbirds. Garden space, a custom storage shed, and a sprinkler system add both beauty and functionality. Enjoy the covered patio complete with ceiling fans and a gas hookup for the grill—perfect for relaxing or entertaining outdoors. The exterior was painted in 2023, adding to the home's well-maintained appeal. A circular driveway, oversized two-car garage with built-in shelving, and extended concrete parking pad with room for approximately three additional vehicles provide exceptional parking and storage options.
