Step outside to a private, beautifully landscaped yard adjacent to a tree-lined field that creates an oasis perfect for enjoying sunny days and starry nights. A new shed, painted in French blue and white, serves as both a space and a visual delight, especially in summer when adorned with climbing roses. The property features wired landscape lighting throughout the front, back, and side yards, highlighting the brick-edged perennial and evergreen gardens. This thoughtfully designed outdoor space enhances the home's charm and provides a serene environment for relaxation and enjoyment. The love and respect for this home are evident, reflecting a genuine passion for enhancing the home's character and appeal.
