As you arrive home and park in the 2 car garage, you move toward the house. You enter a brick wall enclosed courtyard with wrought iron gate and pass the bubbling fountain that is remeniscient of old word charm. Flowering plants and greenery are everywhere. You have entered a rare and special place. The comfortable screened porch is right in front of you on the way into the house. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2021 -exquisite! Hardwood floors are rich and gleaming. The family room picture window overlooks the second outdoor living space - a broad lush green lawn with fire pit made private with more trees and greenery. All bathrooms were renovated in 2021. Perhaps the best part of this immaculate home is the owner's retreat on the lower level. Spacious and bright it has a private entrance and an inviting door to a private garden perfect for relaxing in the hammock or just being among the lush plantings. The siting on this spacious corner lot is stately. Come see.
