The exterior of the property has been upgraded with draught tolerant landscaping and turf to help with water conservation, but you will enjoy the Lime and Blood Orange tree as they make great beverages for enjoying the indoor/outdoor living this home provides. This home may qualify for the Mills Act to lower property taxes as home has the same look and feel as when it was built in 1935 but with modern amenities, and when coupled with the provenance from past publications the first steps have been completed.
