The open dining space features French doors that access the backyard, while the kitchen has been gorgeously updated with stainless steel appliances, pot filling spout above the stove, a recessed cubby for the refrigerator, lots of clean cabinetry and plenty of counter space.

As if this weren't enough, the property boasts an incredible backyard living space that is perched high up and for far-ranging views. There is an extensive paved back patio area, an RV driveway, a shed that has power, water and even its own mini-split for climate control, and a large concrete pad with 24” footings suitable to build a structure on, all enclosed by stylish modern privacy fencing.
