The three-story 18' wide home is elegantly appointed with high ceilings and generous living spaces. Guests are welcomed into a vestibule and enter into an open concept living area that leads to an expansive dining room and bright kitchen. An exceptional outdoor space in the rear of the home surrounds the property with native landscaping and cool shade in summer months. Behind a secret door on the main floor is a powder room providing intrigue and a fun bit of history. Continuing upstairs, the second floor master suite beautifully captures the tree-top view through dramatic double height windows flooding the floor with natural light. The spacious suite features abundant closet space with built-ins. The second floor bathroom connects to the master suite and is thoughtfully designed to create a spa-like experience.
