Out back, the fully fenced yard is ready for garden beds, gatherings, or your own private retreat, complete with covered storage for tools and gear year-round. Ideal for those seeking a refined footprint without compromise, this home is perfectly positioned near shops, dining, and everyday conveniences. Walk Score: 86 | Bike Score: 98.
