As you can make out here, there is a little secluded patio between the carport and the back of the house.




Not to be morbid, but I googled their name Lewarne and the street name, and the woman's obituary came up from 2021. This is Jane Ann and Bruce Lewarne's house.


Someone commented on that site:



Got quite choked up reading that. How lovely!




Now for an interior.
I am such a sucker for early 90s builds! 



These shiny, large tile ceramic floors would kill my heels, but are so "Golden Girls got a condo and toned down the rattan" !
