The converted garage is the ideal flex space as a 5th bedroom, game room, TV hangout, kid's play room, or hobby spot. Mature trees and landscaping tell you "Relax! You don't have to spend time taking care of us!" It's simplicity and it's space to grow. Your laundry closet keeps things neat and tidy in the flex room.

Drift outside the rear sliding doors to your spacious back yard (oh, a rear deck would go perfectly there!) surrounded by a new 7 ft tall wooden privacy fence and a wide gate that invites your boat, RV, or trailer to take refuge out of the public view. What matters most is savings in these tough times: A newer roof (5-10 yrs new), a 2025 HVAC system, 2023 hot water heater means less to worry about down the road.
