It is a wonderful space to enjoy a morning coffee, watch the seasons change, or simply take in the view of the yard. A second connection to the outdoors is found through the breezeway, where sliding doors open directly onto the deck and backyard. Step outside to enjoy the fenced-in in-ground pool area, spacious deck, and additional open yard beyond. The layout creates a natural flow between the home, pool, deck, and yard, making outdoor living feel like a natural extension of the interior. Modern updates add to the home's appeal, including leased solar panels from Sunrun and upgraded electrical utilities, providing the potential for energy savings and added value for years to come.
