The beautifully appointed 4,032± sq. ft. main house plus 625± sq. ft. guest house showcases impeccable craftsmanship with custom millwork and classic shingle exterior. Six bedrooms and six bathrooms provide generous space across thoughtfully designed rooms.

The spacious primary suite features built-in storage, a beautifully updated bath, and an enviable walk-in closet. The flexible floor plan includes four additional bedrooms, a second family room, home office, plus a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house ideal for guests or extended family.
