A large garden shed eliminates the need to store maintenance tools in the garage. We all love the thrill of a new home; but when the reality of waiting twenty years for a shade tree to grow sinks in, the thrill may be replaced with regret as one longs to relax in the shade of a verdant backyard oasis--rather than a barren lot that will take decades of work, expense and waiting before it becomes the haven that awaits you at 1580 Boston Road. As if that wasn't enough, there is also paved R.V. parking and room for more toys in the concrete pad next to the garage. The pad runs along the east side of the lot from the street--all the way to the large garden shed. Have pets? The back yard is pet-friendly, with great fencing, shade, plug-ins for water and heated pet mat. There is even a sheltered dog house alcove built under the deck. This home is squeaky clean and move-in ready.
