Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features hardwood floors, generous room sizes, abundant natural light, multiple fireplaces, a private home office, and a well-appointed kitchen that opens to the family room. Outside, enjoy professionally landscaped grounds highlighted by a 38 foot inground pool with slide and automatic cover, creating a true backyard retreat.
