Landscape uplighting and patio and pathway lighting run on a sunset-to-sunrise timer, and a Rachio wireless sprinkler system keeps the lawn green. The yard was regraded in 2023. A double parking pad on the side of the house leads to the paver patio and kitchen door, and the lower-level back steps lead up to the yard. The mature shrubs, trees, and plantings create a private retreat and nature respite. The super cute Snoopy doghouse/firewood holder conveys and large shed also conveys.
