Outside, the fully enclosed fenced yard includes a beautiful mature tree, underground sprinklers, mowed lawn, and a semi-private back patio—an ideal setting for enjoying warm summer evenings. The front porch and windows are adorned with their original aluminum awnings that enhance this home’s charm and curb appeal.
