At the rear of the home, a beautiful covered patio with vaulted wood ceiling and two large fans provides the perfect place to enjoy the property's peaceful setting and spectacular western-facing sunsets. Recent exterior improvements include a 2025 roof, Hardie plank and Hardie siding, fresh exterior paint, and extensive paver installations, providing both curb appeal and peace of mind. The attached two-car garage provides for additional future potential, subject to applicable approvals, and could provide an opportunity for expanded living space, guest accommodations, recreation space, or a large primary suite.
