Outside, the fenced yard has been beautifully maintained and includes a pristinely kept shed, ready for hobbies, a workshop, or your very own outdoor man cave or she shed. Every detail has been considered to maximize comfort, convenience, and enjoyment. Upstairs, the updated full bathroom is sleek and modern, while both bedrooms provide ample space and storage.
