Nature and wildlife flourish here, creating a peaceful sanctuary that feels worlds away. This charming residence features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, including a massive master retreat with a skylight, walk-in closet, and private en-suite bath. The three additional bedrooms upstairs, two of which feature skylights, are filled with natural light and showcase the original oak wide plank flooring throughout the rooms and hallway, adding timeless elegance and character to the home. As an added highlight, a new septic system was installed just three years ago, providing peace of mind and reducing future maintenance costs. This property perfectly blends old-world charm with the opportunity to add your personal style, transforming it into your very own oasis. Located in a highly desirable area, your new home awaits!
