As you arrive, the detailed brick driveway, manicured landscaping, and distinctive design immediately set the tone for this exceptional home.
Inside, soaring 20-foot ceilings, walls of expansive windows, and multiple sliders bathe the interiors in natural light and create a seamless connection to the surrounding greenery.

A striking floating staircase leads to the lower level, where you’ll find two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors, two updated full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry and utility room, and a sunken family room with access to the back patio. Every window frames tranquil, tree-filled views, enhancing the home’s retreat-like atmosphere.
Additional highlights include a gas fireplace, built-in speakers throughout, dark-stained hardwood floors, landscaped front grounds with Coventry walls, EP Henry stonework slate steps and a deck that runs the entire length of the back of the house overlooking the this beautifully landscaped property .
