Description

Some homes are defined by their interiors. Others by their setting. This property offers both, though it is the land that quietly sets it apart. Set beyond a private drive on over an acre, the home directly abuts the protected landscape of the Highwood Woods, offering lasting privacy, uninterrupted natural surroundings, and direct access to trails and open space. Fully reimagined, the home spans three finished levels with a practical, well considered layout. The main floor includes a chef’s kitchen,...Some homes are defined by their interiors.

The main floor includes a chef’s kitchen, fireplaced den, formal dining room, and a comfortable family room opening to outdoor living and a large three season porch.
