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.
