Mature landscaping, brick work, and a curved stone walkway create a warm, storybook presence.

A formal dining room, kitchen with walk-in pantry, and three bedrooms, including a private primary suite, offer ample living space. Finally, the finished lower level adds flexibility for a gym, media room, or in-law suite.
