Three additional bedrooms are generously sized -- two with walk-in closets and one with direct bathroom access -- and a dedicated laundry room is conveniently located near all bedrooms, no hauling laundry up and down stairs. The backyard offers a large deck with a pergola, shade from mature trees and crepe myrtles, and natural privacy screening -- a solid outdoor space for everyday use and entertaining.
