From quiet mornings by the water to golden evening skies, this is a setting meant to be enjoyed. The detached two-story, two-car barn-style garage is an exceptional bonus. With parking on the main level and additional flexible space above, it offers endless possibilities for a game room, studio, home office, hobby space, workshop, or additional storage.
