A gardener's delight, the yard provides the perfect canvas for al fresco dining and your imagination. Alongside the family room is a generously sized bedroom with the same verdant views, French doors to the yard, and an adjoining office space that connects to the full hallway bathroom. The kitchen, with its timeless maple, slate, and terra cotta elements, sits in the center of the home, with easy access from all sides. Off the main entry, the downstairs also offers a quiet corner office/library with a wall of built-ins, ideal for remote work.
