Set your sights on one story living w/ a hilltop view overlooking Joy Valley. State lands to the rear and side of the home offer privacy; westerly facing views provide magnificent sunsets & stunning seasonal changes of foliage. The lovingly landscaped outdoor spaces complement an interior ready to charm & comfort you w/ oak wood floors in the entry, kitchen & dining room & fireplaces in the living room & master. English-style gardens at the entrance, laced w/ ornamentals, run along the front of the house. Other purposeful plantings in the yard draw Monarch butterflies!
