Can you just feel the warmth of these spaces? Let's head downstairs.

At the base of the stairs you'll find a HUGE recreation/game room, with the 2nd original fireplace. The door to the right of the stairs leads to the 400 sf carport, which is enclosed on 3 sides and has locking storage also.

This room is another space that can (and has) accommodate a crowd. Beyond the conversation area is a large open space for your poker table or other games. Note that the carpet was replaced with luxury vinyl plank floors.

Just outside the rec room door you'll find this lovely covered patio - room for your largest outdoor furniture set, and crowd of friends. Great spot for a fire table, and 365 days/yr of fresh air - oh, and, yep - that's a tv hanging on the wall....Seahawks around the fire anyone?

I think I mentioned a resort-like back yard, right? :) Summer will be here in a blink - think of the fun gatherings, and a perfect setup for keeping the crowd connected - covered and uncovered patios right beside the pool, huge open deck just above, and easy-care turf deck around the pool.....once again, room for that crowd of friends you have!

Beautiful patio space, punctuated by easy-care turf....lower covered patio, upper sun deck and your pool. Every day's a vacation here!

This huge entertaining deck was built in 2022 - views of the yard and pool, and French door access to/from the dining room. The window in the foreground allows the chef to visit with outdoor guests during meal prep.

Another view of your updated pool, this time from the wrap-around front porch. Note that the back yard is fully wrapped in privacy fence - what happens at the resort stays at the resort ;)

Looking back toward the deck, patios and pool shed - ample natural lawn here, too. When you tour, DON'T miss the dry storage space accessed from this side, under the deck! There is SO much storage here.
