A vibrant pollinator garden welcomes you with nature's daily inspirationfinches sing morning melodies, hummingbirds and butterflies dance among the blooms and a resident bunny adds whimsy to your daily view. Step inside to 1,722 square feet of light-filled, spacious possibility. The freshly landscaped wraparound yard creates a living canvas that changes with each season, while long-time neighbors foster the kind of community which feels like family.The moment you enter, the home reveals its graceful flow through a circular journey of spaces designed for both solitude and connection. Two oversized picture windows flood the living room with natural light, leading to a sun-drenched dining room where 180-degree garden views through wood-lattice windows blur the line between indoors and out. Original tongue-and-groove oak hardwood floors envelope the entire home in rich, timeless warmth.
