Cannot beat the location! Retreat to a sanctuary where classic charm meets an incredible outdoor lifestyle at 170 S. Ela Rd. From the moment you pull up the drive, a sense of total seclusion takes over. The property is thoughtfully designed with a significant landscape berm that acts as a natural buffer, wrapping the home in privacy and creating a peaceful, tucked-away atmosphere that feels worlds apart from everything else. The heart of the home features a spacious kitchen that flows effortlessly into the living areas, bathed in natural light and anchored by a cozy fireplace.

The lower level is a destination of its own, featuring a pool table complete with cues, balls, and a ping pong conversion kit, complemented by a large pool room mirror and built-in theater speakers. The basement kitchen fridge, bar stools, and the shed stay with the property, ensuring you're ready to host from day one.
