From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a picturesque walkway framed by signature historic pillars, the calming scent of tea olive bushes, and a vibrant burst of red roses that set the tone for everything this property offers. Inside, natural light pours through 32 windows dressed with 2" faux wood blinds, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The layout offers both functionality and flexibility, with a generous dining room perfect for gathering and a large pantry that makes everyday living easy. Each bedroom offers ample space-large enough to accommodate king-sized furniture-giving you the freedom to design each room to fit your lifestyle. A unique feature of the home is the customizable suite layout: what was once considered the secondary bedroom has been reimagined by the current owner, who connected an additional bedroom to create an expansive dressing room and private retreat. This flexible setup allows the next owner to tailor the space to their needs. Need 3 full bedrooms? No problem. Easy frame up and wall patch and you are back in business. Step outside and you'll find a backyard designed for both privacy and possibility. A white vinyl fence surrounds the main yard, while the open rear boundary invites peaceful views of nature-where deer, fox, and other wildlife are frequent visitors. A 30x30 pole barn creates the perfect setting for gatherings, hobbies, or entertaining. The outdoor living space continues with a wraparound back deck ideal for grilling and alfresco dining. Just beyond, a uniquely shaped garden area offers rich soil ready for planting-or the perfect spot to create a cozy fire pit for evenings under the stars. Additional features include young pear and plum trees, along with blackberry and blueberry plants already established, giving you a head start on your own backyard harvest. To top it off, extra land was acquired to accommodate the home's distinctive horseshoe driveway-adding both convenience and curb appeal. If you've been looking for a home that blends comfort, character, and a touch of countryside magic-this is it. Seller is a Realtor
