To the back of the home you'll find a cute and snug single bedroom, as well as the main bathroom. The bathroom is spacious with a walk-in shower and a European-style laundry equipped with a washing machine and dryer.

Head out onto the deck from the hallway and soak up the outdoors. Grab a seat on the outdoor furniture, fire up a BBQ and watch the kids have a blast in the large backyard and tree swing — plenty of room for them to run wild and free. Maybe even pick yourself a fresh lemon!
