The large fully enclosed rear yard has a sunlit outdoor living area with a huge dining setting and gas BBQ, and there is also a basketball hoop and an outdoor hot & cold water shower. Pets are welcome outside.
Kitchen
The fully appointed kitchen is equipped with cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, microwave, Espressotoria Pod Compatible coffee machine, toaster, kettle, etc. plus a double sink, large fridge, dishwasher, electric oven and cook top.
