The backyard is complete with rose bushes, pond, mature shade trees, 3-yr-old wood fence, and built-in gas barbecue and outdoor fireplace.  The conveniently attached garage is 1-bay wide but two car lengths deep if workbench is removed.  All of this is wrapped up neatly and sits at the end of a quiet cul de sac! 

This home is a traditional sale.
