With room to make it your own, you have plenty of space for recreation, the addition of a shop, or income generating ADUs! Start your mornings with birdsong and unwind each evening to the gentle chorus of crickets from the neighboring pond. The expansive lawn provides an ideal backdrop for entertaining, recreation, and creating lasting memories, while the thoughtfully designed, low-maintenance landscape offers nearly year-round color and blooms.

Whatever your plans, this property provides the space and flexibility to make them a reality.
