Upstairs, two generous bedrooms with vaulted ceilings give a true escape from the everyday. The master suite is a standout: private gas fireplace, whirlpool tub, separate shower, walk-in closet, and its own balcony overlooking the wooded grounds. Front and rear balconies frame peaceful tree canopy views in every season. Main-level laundry adds convenience, and all appliances are included. The HOA delivers genuinely maintenance-free living - cable, internet, water, trash, snow removal, lawn care, and all exterior maintenance covered. New roof recently completed. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or income-producing rental, this villa checks every box. Minutes to downtown Utica's boutique shops, dining, and wineries.
