It's like living in a treehouse! The canopy of native foliage keeps this home feeling cool and private. The large great room features a vaulted ceiling, handsome exposed beams and is filled with light!! The skylights let in so much filtered sunshine... Currently, the 3rd bedroom is utilized as music/dining room. There is a good flow in the kitchen, thanks to the plentiful cabinetry and counter space. Enjoy living/cooking/entertaining outdoors on the wrap around decking. Let's not forget the sense of security when pulling into your basement garage, closing the door electronically and being home. Better hurry!!
