The yard features mature trees, including several fruit trees and grape vines. Enjoy the convenience of the automatic sprinkler system for the large front lawn. The fenced back yard has been used for a large vegetable garden, but can easily be converted to a play area or lush green grass. The detached 2-car garage was added in 2006 and mirrors the house's historic style. Concrete was added to the main driveway for additional parking and R/V storage in 2019. This home was appraised at $600,000 on February 25, 2026.
