The custom built pergola creates an inviting space for relaxing and entertaining. An additional storage shed offers room for tools and belongings. The property is surrounded by a combination of concrete block and wood fencing with gated access giving much privacy. There's a grass and garden area, including a historic lemon tree believed to be approximately 100 years old that is still producing lemons year after year. It is a true gem with decades of family memories. Don't miss this is an opportunity to own a home with character and yet room to make it uniquely yours.
