The cute, fenced backyard is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a Tiki bar and a fruit-bearing pecan tree for shade. Additionally, there’s a separate, independent studio/office with its own AC unit. The yard also boasts pecan, fig, and plantain trees that produce fruit, while a small lemon tree in the front is regenerating, and a bay laurel tree offers aromatic leaves for culinary use. Red flowers bloom in the fall in the front bed, adding a vibrant touch to the landscape.
