A NEW METAL ROOF IS SCHEDULED FOR APRIL -giving buyers instant peace of mind and long-term savings from day one. A rare offering with architectural character and privacy, this property presents exceptional value for buyers seeking a truly special one-of-a-kind retreat.

Beyond the cozy den lies an en suite bedroom, a serene space inspired by Zen simplicity. Sliding glass doors open to the wraparound patio, a haven for morning coffee and quiet reflection. On the same floor, a second primary suite welcomes you through an intricately hand carved door. Inside, an expansive bedroom and private sitting area rests quietly among the treetops, wrapped in peaceful seclusion. The ground floor includes a private guest suite and entrance, spacious laundry room, ample storage, oversized two-car garage ,and EV charging station.
