Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home blends warmth, comfort, and effortless style.

The kitchen flows into a stunning great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, recessed lighting, and a striking stone gas fireplace that creates the perfect cozy backdrop year-round.
