1 acre

Welcome to our fully fenced, secure, and private one-acre doggy paradise, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac! Your pup will have plenty to sniff, explore, and enjoy with a large grassy yard, mulch areas, and wooded sections on both sides of the property. The wooded areas have been cleared underneath, creating fun paths for running, exploring, and leisurely walks. Relax while your dog plays, or join in the fun! There are multiple seating areas throughout the property, whether you prefer soaking up the sun or relaxing in the shade. Our large blue-stone patio provides a beautiful, shaded place to sit and backs right up to the woods. šŸŠ Pool Update: The large in-ground pool is now closed for the season and has a mesh safety cover installed. Please note that the fencing separating the yard from the pool is not 100% secure, so we ask that you keep an eye on your pups while they are enjoying the yard. For your convenience, we provide: * šŸ’© Poop bags * šŸ’§ A bowl of fresh water * 🧸 A basket of toys for your pup to enjoy Your privacy is important to us! All people and pets will be inside the house during your visit, giving you and your dog the entire outdoor space to yourselves. There is easy access from both the driveway and street parking, making arrival and departure simple. Whether your dog wants to run, sniff, explore, play, or simply relax in the shade, there’s something here for every pup. We hope you and your four-legged friend enjoy your private slice of doggy heaven! šŸ¶ā¤ļø
