Set on nearly four acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, this property boasts ivy-covered stone facade, mature trees, and ample natural light throughout. Inside, you'll find almost 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring intricate moldings, built-ins, and charming window seats.

A curved staircase leads to a generous family room with vaulted ceilings and walls of glass, flooding the space with natural light and offering scenic views. The home features four ensuite bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath and an expansive walk-in closet. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a covered screened-in porch, a slate patio, and a large back
