As you approach the property, you will be captivated by the perfectly landscaped lot complete with a lawn irrigation system and a canine electric fence so that your pets can safely enjoy the spacious yard. The home itself is protected by an ADT alarm system and boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, as well as a bonus room on the third floor.
