A handcrafted timber-framed breezeway connects the home to the oversized, heated two-car garage with a dedicated workshop. Outdoor living is nothing short of magical, with a timber-framed main level patio finished in slate and decorative iron railings, plus a terrace-level patio perfect for quiet moments or entertaining. The breathtaking landscaping includes stone steps, paths, and hardscape details that create a garden sanctuary unlike any other.
