Escape to your own private retreat on 3.5 beautiful acres surrounded by mature trees. This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the space, privacy, and comfort that are becoming harder to find.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features a spacious living room with custom built-in shelving and a striking double-sided fireplace that also warms the enclosed sunroom. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, hosting friends on the back deck, or taking in the peaceful views from the front porch, there are plenty of spaces to relax and unwind.
The fully fenced backyard provides room for pets, play, or gardening, while the attached 2-car garage and large attic offer abundant storage.
