What we love most about our home is the outdoor areas. The home is completely nestled beneath a canopy of stately oak trees which are draped with Spanish Moss. An outdoor dining area is set up under a beautiful pergola with string lights that set the mood. Enjoy some S’mores at the firepit chiminea. A new Weber gas grill is also available. The yard is plenty large enough for the young ones to play.
