A charming desk area sits in front of a window — a wonderful spot for working from home or creative pursuits. The primary bedroom is en suite, and has a good sized walk-through closet area; and all three bedrooms capture the home’s soft light and peaceful mood. Warm-toned hardwood floors add elegance throughout.
A guest room and a third bedroom used as a dedicated massage room currently round out the beauty of the second floor. A guest bath is conveniently located for use in the social areas and guest room. The outdoor space is just as welcoming. The wraparound garden, filled with mature plantings, hanging pots, and natural stone borders, brings color and serenity to daily life.
