The upper level offers a bright and serene atmosphere, appointed with premium tongue and groove weatherproof flooring, generous closet space, a private bathroom with walk in shower and newly replaced windows and doors that frame lovely views of the outside. Escape into your own enchanting backyard and you will find a sparkling in-ground pool that is perfect for cooling off during the summer months, upgraded low maintenance turf, beautiful mature and fruit trees lending dappled shade, a vegetable garden and a cozy sitting area with a charming corner built for cooking and BBQing making gathering a delight.
