The lengthy 26 foot covered front porch has two outdoor ceiling fans with lights, offering a breezy spot while enjoying your quiet wooded yard. Proving worth the test of time, is a gorgeous Terrazzo Brick covering the expansive porch floor. Not to be outdone, Terrazzo Brick adorns the enclosed side porch's floor as well. A grand living space crawls across much of the rear of the home providing several sitting areas for your conversations and maybe even a ''office- space corner.
