Lovely brick walls and fencing outline the property, and the residence is set back from the road at the end of a circular drive finished in Chicago brick. Lushly mature landscaping is highlighted by flourishing palms and silver buttonwood trees on the manicured lawns.

An outdoor shower is an added convenience.
