The backyard has 2 patio sections, great for entertaining, and a gas grill that is hooked up to a gas line and is also included in the sale of the home.

    "I've been living here for almost 6 year's and I wouldn't exactly say that it's wlak out during the evening's friend, I'm hoping to be moving out of here to a more country type of family home along with my future roommates maybe some time by this summer...?(Hopefully) it's not too bad of a place to live here, but I prefer more of the open nature vibe where it's not so jammed or city like and where I can feel comfortable and safe whenever walking during the nights"
