Four bedrooms and three bathrooms are located in the original wing of the home. Upstairs features the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and generous walk-in closet, plus a second bedroom and hall bathroom-both featuring charming dormer nooks.

The backyard features a patio nestled under a canopy of trees and surrounded by privacy hedges. A walking path leads through a wrought iron gate to the front yard, while another path provides access behind the garage. The yard comes alive in spring, blooming with daffodils, hyacinths, and rhododendrons. These gardens were designed for year-round beauty and privacy-a true reflection of the loving care the owners have given this home.
