Upstairs offers a unique lofted bedroom, a desk alcove, and a spacious primary suite complete with walk-in closet, tile bath, and sliders to a deck with bucolic vistas. Begin the day with a morning coffee on one of the enchanting private patios or deck, and take a brisk walk along a nearby trail. Set on 8 acres with shared amenities including sprawling wooded & landscaped grounds, a seasonal swimming pool, tennis court, and plentiful parking. A unique blend of privacy, charm and nature - an urban sanctuary like no other!
