There is also a workbench area with under-cabinet lighting and a wet bar that is often converted into a closet. Yet, you have a closet behind it already!
The back wall has a newer sliding glass door to access an exterior stairwell that goes down to the backyard. 
Double-pane sliding glass door leading to a wooden stairwell going down to the beautiful backyard. 
View from the semi-balcony of the stairwell that leads down to the backyard. This stairwell was replaced in 2020. 
The exterior stairwell doubles back down for a safer climb up and down.
The back covered patio will be a favorite spot. You can access it from the sliding glass door in the Family Room or from the back of the Garage.
