Why This Home Captivates
Hidden behind a leafy drive, the residence unfolds like a private botanical park. Mature boxwoods trace graceful pathways, stone statuary peeks from flowering borders, and every window frames a view that blooms through all four seasons. Crafted with the solid mid-century construction you rarely find today, the house is a blank canvas for anyone who cherishes history, character, and garden living.
