A flagstone patio in the backyard offers a private paradise. Recline under the shade of the gazebo as burgers sizzle on the gas grill. On starry nights, gather around the wood-burning firepit. The front yard and backyard are both surrounded by a picket fence, allowing furry friends to play in the soft grass.
