What We Love About This Home

One of the most enjoyable features of this property is the outdoor environment thoughtfully cultivated over the years. Several mature shade trees were planted by the owner along with fruit-producing apple, peach, and pear trees, three blackberry bushes, and two blueberry bushes that continue to produce each season.

Inside, the floor plan is exceptionally functional and thoughtfully designed, maximizing the usefulness of every room while maintaining an open and comfortable flow throughout the home.

"A natural extension
of the home."

The large L-shaped wraparound covered porch provides an unexpected luxury — whether enjoying a summer rainstorm, relaxing outdoors, or receiving protected package deliveries.
