The oversized deck and custom-built pergola create a natural setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or unwinding at the end of the day, complete with lighting that enhances the space into the evening. A separate fire pit area sits beneath a beautiful live oak, adding character and a true sense of place, while a covered firewood storage area adds practical convenience. The width and usability of the lot provide space to spread out now, with room for future additions such as a garage. The fully fenced backyard adds privacy and functionality, while custom cedar screening discreetly conceals HVAC equipment and trash areas for a clean, polished look. Hardwired flood lighting further enhances both usability and security. Adding even more versatility is the detached flex space with western red cedar siding, insulation, 220 power, and a garage door--ideal as a workshop, studio, gym, home office, or flexible storage space. With no HOA, the property offers an added level of freedom and flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in this price point and location, with room for boat, RV, or camper parking.
