There is a Long Driveway with Room for RV or Boat Parking. The Garden with a Rachio Smart Sprinkler System extends the home’s livable space into a private outdoor retreat, with a generous lawn framed by roses, lavender, hibiscus, and mature, lush greenery. Each spring, a dramatic Wisteria Bloom transforms the yard into a truly unforgettable fragrant seasonal display. The Detached Two Car Garage remains fully functional as a true garage offering exceptional versatility for a workshop, car storage, DIY projects, creative pursuits, or you could add an ADU.
