About this home

Showings begin Sunday August 16. Surround yourself with the beauty of your own private botanical garden in this thoughtfully designed home, where every detail invites you to enjoy the connection between indoors and out. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and exceptional window details fill the home with natural light and frame the surrounding gardens at every turn. Originally built by Zephyr Construction as one of their innovative "Loft House" plans, the home has been thoughtfully expanded and enhanced by the current owner. The addition of a luxurious Primary Suite features an upscale bath, spacious walk-in closet, and multiple windows overlooking the beautifully landscaped grounds., and has direct access to the adjacent Den/Office/Sitting Room. A spectacular Sun Room provides another inviting connection to nature, with an expansive wall of windows and motorized blinds that allow the outdoors to become an integral part of the living experience. Outside, a two-level deck provides an elegant transition from the home to the yard, with gently descending stairs leading to a beautifully designed landscape of mature plantings, garden beds, and inviting grassy areas. A charming garden shed offers convenient storage for gardening tools and supplies, while the recently added oversized one-car garage provides exceptional functionality. A wonderful breezeway connects the garage to the home, continuing to the welcoming rocking-chair front porch and front door. It is rare to find a property that combines this much beauty, thoughtful design, and functionality. Big things truly can come in small packages, and this exceptional home is sure to stand out.
