Out back, the property shines with direct access from both the kitchen and dedicated home office / flex space. Brand-new decks and covered terrace extend the living area outdoors, overlooking a beautifully designed yard with new irrigation, landscaping, gravel and stone hardscape. Gardeners will appreciate the care that's gone into creating a place that's ready to plant and grow, while you unwind a true backyard retreat where there's still room to cultivate your personal vision.
