Composite Trex-style decks on the back and the side — built for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. Rare 3-car heated garage with extra-tall ceilings, perfect for trucks, lifts, or workshop space. Newer skylights, garage doors, front entry, earthquake tie-downs to foundation, and a 16x10 dry storage shed round out a home that's been cared for like a family heirloom.
