Inside, high ceilings create an open feeling and walls of tall French windows and doors overlook the outdoors. The floor plan features a large living room with a fireplace, the paneled library with a fireplace, and a long gallery that opens to the dining room, kitchen, and family room. The primary bedroom is located on the first floor, and has two separate bathrooms. First floor quarters have a full bath and a side entrance is nearby. The second floor features a large game room with full bath, plus two guest bedrooms with a connecting bath. Above the garage is a guest apartment with full bath and kitchen. Recent roof in 2024 plus a/c updates, and storage is abundant with 12 walk-in closets. Truly an oasis!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
