Close to everything yet feels worlds away. Just blocks to Swansons Nursery and the new Blue Ridge Coffee House, this enchanting home offers that rare blend of convenience and tranquility. This beloved home delights with the charm of a storybook cottage. Set back from a quiet street, it borders a verdant greenbelt, immersing the home in nature while remaining moments from everyday essentials. The sprawling, grassy front yard and mature gardens create an immediate sense of retreat the moment you arrive. Step inside to warm hardwood floors, an airy open layout, and large windows framing lush ravine views that stretch toward the Sound. French doors off the kitchen open to an expansive deck—an ideal place to watch sailing regattas, savor birdsong, glowing sunsets and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. Both upstairs bedrooms are generously sized, filled with natural light, and offer peaceful, comfortable escapes. The daylight basement adds even more versatility with a cozy media area, a dedicated study nook, a wet bar for easy hosting, a large bedroom with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, plus a functional laundry room with access to the lower patio. Spend quiet hours outside surrounded by thoughtfully curated plantings designed for beauty and low maintenance. This endearing home delivers the best of both worlds: the feeling of a secluded sanctuary paired with the ease of an ideal central location. A rare find—ready to bring restful, joyful days to its next fortunate owner.
