Stunning views from the floor to ceiling windows on both floors of this all brick walk-out ranch. With a "nod" to Frank Lloyd Wright, this home is timeless. Drive up to your circle drive and open up the double doors. You'll be in awe of the spaciousness of this home. There aren't a lot of "little"rooms that you won't use. Instead, all of the rooms are open. With the exception of one basement guest room, there is sunlight from top to bottom. Outside terrace entrances from the sunroom, the living room, and a private Main Bedroom Suite overlooking your nearly acre lot with no one behind you. The lot is nearly completely fenced in (needs a gate), but there is also a dog run in the back yard. Irrigation system in the front yard.
