A semi-circular front drive and cobbled side driveway offer convenient access at the front of the home, while a concrete drive behind the electronic gate leads to the rear garage, accessed from Hollywood Street—perfect for both everyday living and hosting guests. Situated on a large corner lot, the property showcases mature landscaping designed for year-round beauty. Despite recent storms, this home has remained strong and well cared for—just another testament to its enduring quality.
