The style of this home suits the .78 acre land it sits on perfectly. Like many individually built ranch homes, it has a low profile that maximizes the integration with the lot.

The in-ground heated gunite pool is beautifully fenced and has ample decking for varied seating spaces. Summer evenings can be enjoyed around the pool under the stars with the big dipper framed beautifully in the sky. There are flat grassy areas and an outdoor shower.
