Step outside and see the 2 ancient trees standing guard against the sun while you enjoy coffee on the swing or dinner under the pergola. Then stroll over to the fire pit and enjoy the open starry night sky. You also a have a large 14' x 20' shed as well as the detached 2 car garage, with additional storage in the loft. An old cement slab will serve as great parking pad for your R.V. or boat. Don't forget the beach is just down the road!
