Walk out to a large balcony with views of the adjacent forested parkland and wraps around to a breezeway that gives covered access from the house to a large two-car garage architecturally designed to tie in with the handsome, classic exterior of the home.

The large windows afford natural light throughout the first floor of the home, and the second level of the home has brand new oak floors and four bedrooms. The large primary suite features gorgeous bay windows with woodland views, walk-in closets and a brand-new renovated primary bath with beautiful shower, large soaking tub, double vanity, Porcelenosa tiles and beautiful fixtures. The other bedrooms are a good size and the room with the floor to ceiling windows can serve as a lovely home office.

The lower level of the home features a dramatic 9’ 8” coffered ceiling, and the large main room opens to a wrap-around deck and large back yard. In addition, there is a bedroom with full-size windows, an ensuite bath and large closet.
