This room could be converted to a bedroom if a partition & door were installed.     The Front Yard is covered with white shells in some areas, and brown pine bark in other areas.

Two palms grow next to the road. A stone-covered area next to the driveway is available for supplemental parking, as no parking is allowed on the street.   The Back Yard is enclosed by neighbors’ fencing.  Pine bark covers the yard, so there is no grass to mow here as well.

Plywood sheets to cover windows during hurricane season are stored overhead. An irrigation pump is located next to the north wall, is not used because well went dry.   Electrical Panel has been fully updated to comply with all current Pasco County zoning requirements.   Heating and Cooling is provided by a central HVAC unit located in the attic above the garage.
