The residence is set on a vast, private lot with a shared driveway, leading to a newly installed chain-link gate that welcomes you into a serene, wooded retreat. The owners have cleared an acre of brush to create a versatile fenced yard, complete with endless possibilities, a newly paved driveway, and a remodeled garage currently serving as a dedicated workspace. The interior is equally impressive, beginning with a charming glass vestibule and a beautiful arbor walkway adorned with trumpet vine. Inside, the newly remodeled kitchen features refinished original hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and butcher block counters.
