From the moment you arrive, pride of ownership is unmistakable. The stone-accented exterior, mature landscaping, established evergreens, generous lawn, and beautifully maintained grounds create outstanding curb appeal, while the surrounding rolling countryside provides a peaceful and picturesque setting. Step inside to a dramatic two-story foyer filled with natural light and accented by gleaming hardwood floors, detailed trim, and an open staircase.

Just beyond, the spectacular sunroom is surrounded by walls of windows and enhanced by stunning transom windows and a dramatic oversized arched window, filling the space with natural light and creating an exceptional connection to the outdoors. French doors lead to the screened porch, one of the home's most memorable spaces. Featuring a vaulted wood ceiling and ceiling fans, this inviting retreat is framed by towering arborvitae and mature evergreens that provide exceptional privacy and a wonderful connection to nature. Imagine peaceful mornings enjoying coffee while listening to the birds, quiet afternoons with a good book, or relaxed evenings entertaining beneath the trees. A separate paver patio provides yet another inviting outdoor gathering space.
