Many glorious and happy times were spent in this home, now it is ready for its next owner to make memories. You will love the 2-car garage, the studio with its own separate entrance, the brick living room fireplace, multi-level decks to catch the sunsets and much more! If location is everything in real estate, then the original owners found the dream location.
