Outside, the private garden is a peaceful retreat, with a designated patio area for alfresco dining and entertaining, a lush lawn, and a handy shed for extra storage. The driveway provides ample off-street parking for at least three cars, combining practicality with a striking, contemporary home that is ready to move into.
