Abundant plantings create year-round visual interest. The patio area features a stone fireplace for cool evenings, a soothing fountain, and built-in stone seating that whispers "stay awhile."A charming playhouse (perfect for little dreamers or Instagram-worthy garden storage). An outdoor cabana/workshop. Perfect for those seeking flexible living arrangements and Entertainers who need indoor comfort and outdoor wow-factor!
