The patio out back has just the right amount of shade to make an afternoon lemonade a cooling experience, with pavers and landscaping that is low maintenance but lush. You will NOT spend your weekends mowing and weeding here. Upstairs there are 3 large bedrooms and a convenient laundry space that doesn’t make chores fun, necessarily, but at least you can wash and fold in the thick of it all, not stuck in a dark hallway …
