Every room in the home offers a connection to the outdoors -- whether it's a garden patio off the guest bedrooms, the sunny courtyard off the living spaces, or the private backyard with no neighbor behind you, providing rare privacy and peace. An attached two car garage is light and bright for the hobbyist. Thoughtful upgrades like a newer roof, central air conditioning, and a beautiful move-in ready interior add even more value to this exceptional property.
