From there, step down onto a patio with firepit, nap in a hammock, or host outdoor parties under the string lights. Rear yard is fenced in and feels private. There is even a shed for storage and a wide side yard for a hideaway grilling area. You’ll be delighted year round with perennials, spring bulbs, and flowering shrubs. Lovingly maintained and ready for you to move in and immediately enjoy. Because of the big corner lot, there are 2 easy parking spots on the side road (E Pharr Rd) and plenty of guest parking on the street, too.
