The back yard is partially shaded and could easily be enclosed for "Fido's" safety. Need extra storage space? How about a huge 2 car garage with a loft? There is a set of stairs leading to the spacious loft so you where you can easily stash all the treasures your spouse wishes you didn't have. OR, you could claim this space as your office, man-cave, hide-out, whatever. Finished enough for a teen lair (per the seller), the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination
