About this home

This lovely custom-built, single-level home is tucked back off the road in a very private setting surrounded by a level acre of lawn and landscape. This home has formal and informal living and dining areas and a very open floor plan with an abundance of windows that bring in a lot of natural sunlight. The formal living room has a wall of built-ins that open to reveal the primary bedroom ensuite with two walk-in closets and a full bath with a separate soaking tub and shower. There is an oversized attached garage as well as a large, heated 2-bay shop with loft storage, an office, and a half bath, as well as an additional outbuilding where the owners used to store their large boat. This is certainly a unique home with so much to offer!
