Sometimes childhood dreams find the good fortune of coming true. Get ready to step into a dreamland fairytale when you visit 2236 S. Pifer Rd. Crossing the bridge over the stream at the edge of the property, the private driveway winds through the wooded portion of the property, which consists of 3 lots for a total of 14.97 acres. A stone walkway weaves its way through impressive landscaping eagerly welcoming you home. The stone patio is ideal for spending crisp mornings, watching the fog rise from the stream fed pond. Stepping through the front door you are greeted by the open layout of the main living area. Large windows at the front of the living room make this space bright and cheery, while the stone hearth of the pellet stove adds a touch of warmth. The open eat-in kitchen has ample room for a table large enough to accommodate family and guests. Just beyond, you find a spacious sunroom overlooking the in-ground pool. Enjoy summer afternoons soaking up the sun while lounging around the 27’x12'5” fiberglass pool, which features an automatic pool cover and salt system.
