The basement-level garage makes it easy to store your outdoor toys, boating equipment, tools, or seasonal items. Outside, the home has a large covered front porch with porch swings, a flat front yard that sets you back from the road, a rear deck with both covered and uncovered areas to relax, and ample space for parking.
