Welcome to 8003 Navajo, an elegant stone Cotswold-style residence built on land originally owned by George Woodward.

On the other side of the foyer, a formal dining room awaits, showcasing period light fixtures, another stone fireplace with an elegant natural wood mantle, and access to a lovely covered patio for outdoor dining.
