The grounds, framed by mature specimen trees, feel like a natural extension of the home providing space to breathe, gather, and grow.
On the main floor of the home, the flow is effortless. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a breakfast nook, a spacious laundry room with built-ins for pantry space, and a cozy screened porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee. Off the kitchen is a light-filled, spacious family room with views to the beautiful backyard. The family room has built-in shelves and a fireplace, along with a convenient vestibule entry from the side of the house where there is ample off-street parking, adding ease and practicality to everyday living.
