As of May 2025

Nestled on a serene 1.93-acre lot backing to lush trees, 878 Backbone Court offers the perfect blend of elegance and privacy. This stunning colonial is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a tiered deck, a custom slate patio, a tranquil water feature, and a fenced backyard—ideal for outdoor gatherings.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious sitting room, a walk-in closet, and a renovated en-suite bath featuring dual vanities and a glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. The lower level expands the living space with a game room featuring built-ins and access to the slate patio, a media room, a powder room, and ample storage.
