Timeless quality...a custom home built in 1955 by Glenn Yount, This exceptional home is a testament to the craftsmanship and quality construction of a bygone era. Offering generous living spaces throughout, this home features a spacious living room and formal dining room along with an oversized family room designed for gathering, entertaining and everyday living. There is even a bonus room that could serve as a media room or flex space.
