As you turn the corner to make your way up the long drive of this enchanting 2.9-acre estate, the timeless lines of the ranch style home draw you towards the welcoming front porch. The custom double doors open to the formal sitting and dining rooms that greet you with high ceilings accented by crown molding and an approachable elegance that instantly puts you at ease as you enter the home.

On top of the two traditional closets, this substantial suite also offers an oversized third closet complete with a custom shelving system, make-up desk and dressing area.

Off of the family room, there are three generous guest bedrooms and two carefully curated bathrooms from which to choose. In the rear of the home you will find the spacious media room that can easily convert to a den, play room or flex space. Back in the family room, the oversized sliders lead out to the paved patio and sparkling pool where the true joy of this home can be found as you gaze over your sprawling pasture. Just step through the jasmine covered archway and past the stone fire pit to reach the lovingly crafted horse barn that not only offers shelter to your equine friends, but is also a place to sit on the plentiful porch and savor the simple things that make this lifestyle something to aspire to ~
