Off of the dining room is a family room with a sliding door, that leads out to the brand new, low maintenance composit deck with stairs leading down to the yard. The mature trees offer shade in the summer from the southern exposure. A large back yard with raised garden beds is ready for the next gardener's imagination and green thumb.
