The kitchen features Corian countertops, bar seating, and easy access to the separate dining room, making entertaining a breeze.

The second residence offers 1,473 square feet of comfortable living space with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a 1-car garage with laundry room, and its own private concrete driveway, adding convenience and independence. The living area features luxury vinyl flooring throughout, built-in shelving in the spacious family room, granite countertops in the kitchen, and a relaxing sunroom (20’x23’) overlooking the beautiful grounds. Improvements include a metal roof (2021) and HVAC (2024). Step outside and experience your own tropical retreat. Lush landscaping, mature plantings, flowering garden beds (5 rows of raised beds-4’x70’), lawn and garden bed irrigation, a deck with sandbox, and peaceful outdoor spaces create an inviting backyard oasis perfect for relaxing, gardening, or gathering with family and friends. Additional improvements include a new well installed in 2023 and fully paid-off solar panels installed in 2022, helping keep electric costs low while improving efficiency for both homes.
