New composite decking on the two main decks and steps, paired with LED night lighting, creates a beautiful and inviting outdoor retreat. Inside, you'll find an enormous kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a cozy den with a built-in bunk closet for extra sleeping space, and two oversized bedrooms on the main level.
