Imagine dinner parties, first holidays, dogs racing through the yard, and slow Sunday mornings on the screened porch.
With a large, corner lot, the front curb appeal is delightfly with a canopy of mature trees, welcoming drive and stone walkways.

The lower level offers even more opportunity, with laundry, a rec room, and a rough full bath already in place and ready for future customization -- whether as a gym, guest suite, media room, creative studio, or additional hangout space.
