You'll find plenty of storage space with a 2-car attached garage, a detached garage with 30 amp service, a significant 15' high metal carport (24x46) also equipped with 30 amp service, and a fully fenced backyard with a convenient wide gate on the side yard. Inside, you'll appreciate the open floor plan, cleverly defined by a half wall between the kitchen and living room.
