Nestled just off the road in, this home offers a surprising sanctuary of privacy thanks to large laurel hedges lining the driveway. The backyard transforms into a serene nature oasis, complete with a gently trickling stream, chirping birds, and...
exquisite landscaping that mimics a park-like setting. Remarkably, the sounds of the road are inaudible from both inside the house and the backyard.
The interior of the home is well-maintained, reflecting careful upkeep over the years. It features a spacious main bedroom, bathroom, and closet. The layout is open and inviting, enhanced by an abundance of windows that flood the space with natural light. For those who appreciate the allure of 1920s charm, this property merits a closer look.
