The backyard offers privacy with no direct rear neighbors, featuring a custom putting green & lush landscaping. The lot sits elevated with trees & a landscaped walkway behind the property, creating a pleasant buffer while enjoying Founders Park just steps away with fields, playground, basketball & tennis courts, plus the community pool, spa & BBQ area.
