The gourmet kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous workspace, built-in refrigeration and an open connection to the home's main living and entertaining spaces. Outside the fenced backyard, the property's size and NO HOA provide flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find. A dedicated RV/boat/trailer parking area with 50-amp hookup, additional parking for multiple vehicles, storage and nearly two acres give you room to enjoy the property your way. Private acreage.
