The house is positioned in the heart of this storybook neighborhood and sits sideways lending itself to privacy and stunning views of the surrounding greenery. The backyard is walled-in to create a courtyard, "secret garden" feel. The plantings are lovely with tall verdant pines, dogwoods, azaleas and rhododendrons - all to be enjoyed from a newer larger stone patio. The patio can be accessed from the living room, dining room and breakfast room and there are wonderful views drawing you outside from each of these spaces. The living room boasts an enormous picture window that can be seen from the entry way of the home - with a lovely blossoming dogwood tree centered to greet you! The galley kitchen although not newly renovated is lovely and functional and is open to a sun-drenched breakfast room with cathedral ceilings and wonderful windows. There is a first floor en suite Master Bedroom with an adjacent sitting room/office. The current owners use this space as a Family Room and office so it's wonderful flex space to have as your needs change! And, there is another updated bathroom on this floor for extra convenience! The 2nd floor has 4 incredibly spacious bedrooms and a tastefully appointed hall bathroom with double sinks! There is a basement with a wood-shop room and an attached 2-car garage. This house has a wonderful open feel with outdoor views from every room. The surrounding plantings are very special and the location is unparalleled. Many of the homes in this neighborhood have sold for close to or over a million dollars!
