This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,200-square-foot home lives much larger than its footprint, thanks to an open-concept floor plan and thoughtful layout.

The exterior showcases classic colonial design principles, featuring six-over-one Marvin windows, charming shutters, window boxes, and a delightful arched roof overhang that creates undeniable curb appeal. Every detail was carefully chosen to blend into the historic neighborhood, complementing the natural beauty that surrounds the home.
Inside, the open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, making it easy to entertain and enjoy daily life. The site-finished hardwood floors add warmth throughout, complemented by a sophisticated palette of beige cabinetry, gold hardware, and a custom white oak dining table.
One of the home's most desirable features is the first-floor owner's suite, offering the convenience of single-level living. Two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or a growing family.
