Outdoor living continues on the covered screened porch with wood flooring and distinctive hog-wire accents, while a stone-lined pathway leads to a welcoming firepit gathering area ideal for evenings under the stars. Additional improvements include split-rail fencing, invisible pet fencing, improved turnaround space at the driveway, and handrails along the stone pathway.
