From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a serene front yard oasis complete with a tranquil sitting area, water feature, and romantic string lights—perfect for relaxing evenings or intimate gatherings. Inside, the home exudes warmth and character with gleaming hardwood floors and a bright, inviting living room anchored by a cozy fireplace.
