Back of home

The backyard is meticulously maintained, with a lush, rolling green lawn, mature trees and bordering flower beds. A concrete patio sits between the detached garage and living & dining rooms, allowing for outdoor living. The original rear yard garage does occupy some of the usable space within the backyard, but the backyard is amply sized and provides a usable private space.

This home would be a great project for either a renovation or restoration. There isn’t much original left, but the makings of a fantastic showplace are already in place.
