Outdoor enhancements include premium metal Gutter Helmet protection, extended and buried gutter drains with a drain box, maintenance-free vinyl split-rail fencing with green wire mesh and two gates, fully automatic Rain Bird irrigation, and mature landscaping. The homesite backs to protected open space and HOA common area. A private first-floor office overlooks the rear yard. The spacious laundry/mudroom provides storage potential and access to the oversized two-car garage, drywalled and painted with attic access and automatic openers/remotes.
