There’s a lg. covered patio for barbecuing or outdoor movie nights, a fully fenced pool, new sod and sprinklers in the front yard, and an XL space in the backyard that is currently set up with horse shoe pits, but has a lot of potential for a play area, growing a garden, or possibly adding an addition, etc....
