Outside, the fenced backyard provides space for entertaining, gardening, or quiet relaxation. The quiet bonus to this property is the detached building with electric in place providing possibilities for a workshop, studio, hobby space, storage, home business, or potential ADU conversion (buyer to verify zoning, permits, and utility requirements.)
