Instantly you'll see how lovingly and well maintained this original owner kept this home. Noted first by the pristine care given to the front and back yards. Amazing plush green lawns, pride & beauty show in the many perennials that highlights all sides. Detailed brick raised garden edging, mature trees, and shrubs make it spectacular. Wide, side-concrete driveway leads to a very charming, cottage like appeal of the 2 1/2 car garage. There's also a patio area with an attached gas grill. The professionally cared for, carpet perfect lawn extends the depth of the yard & extends to the expansive area "behind" the garage. It can be used in so many different ways.
