The home has a 40 year metal roof installed in 2014 and 2 ac units with the larger unit replaced in 2020. Attached to the carport is workshop that could be turned into an art studio. The roof of the carport has a green scape design so when you look out of the large windows overlooking the back yard you see a beautiful succulent garden. This is a must see home.
