In the backyard, the family created multiple opportunities to enjoy their new space and to make lasting memories. The oversized porch boasts an outdoor kitchen, which three generations—Dustin, his dad, and Ella—framed out completely on their own. There is also a large stone fireplace, a mosquito spraying system, and built-in heaters that make this space enjoyable year-round.
