A large front deck is suitable for gatherings to eat, sip wine or coffee and relax in the morning before work or when you return home after a long day. The peace and quiet will fill your senses with tranquil feelings of home. As quiet and peaceful as a dead end or cul-de-sac, the block is historically serene and private. The back yard is a tropical oasis, boasting beautiful Hawaiian natural gas torches, a natural gas firepit with a gazebo type seating area and slate surface with no grass to cut. There is also a large area for dining, an outdoor hot tub or recreational area with a basketball hoop. There is a detached garage, converted into a dry storage unit with electric.

There is also a significant fenced in “play area” with safety flooring, which could be used for children’s play, swing set, etc. or another seating, dining or party area. The property has a fully fenced (PVC) back yard and post and rail fenced front yard. The grass, flowers and ornamental plants are watered by an underground sprinkler system and abundant solar lighting for the plants, fence, yard, deck and driveway. The home itself boasts a full alarm system; natural gas heating (and clothes dryer) and cooking (including the outdoor barbeque); central air conditioning, new boiler, new roof, hot water heater, recessed lighting and beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Upgraded electric box (150 amp service), generator “hook up” and upgraded modern washer and dryer make life easy. Possible separation of interior for an accessory apartment (with proper permits).
