The wooded lot is beautifully surrounded by lush bushes and mature trees, creating a wonderfully private and serene outdoor setting.

The home also comes complete with a kayak and dedicated kayak storage above the front deck, a fantastic bonus for anyone looking to get out on the water from day one.
