Description

Located in the peaceful beauty of Edgemoor, this home is the ideal setting for gatherings of friends. The open plan is centered on an incredible kitchen, with plenty of space for cooks and observers of the food preparation ritual. For less casual gatherings, a formal dining room with French doors opening to the patio and extensive gardens is perfect. A walk though this private space is almost magical as the sun casts shadows through the trees. If casual elegance is your goal - you just found it!Located in the peaceful beauty of Edgemoor, this home is the ideal setting for gatherings of friends.
