Set on .36 acres at the end of a long cul-de-sac, this 4-bed, 3-bath, 3, 363 SqFt residence offers rare privacy, with the adjacent lot owned by the community, ensuring it will never be built on. What truly sets this home apart is not only its setting, but its design & the lifestyle it invites. Designed around connection, gathering, & outdoor living, the home welcomes you first to an expansive covered front deck, positioned along a quiet cul-de-sac, creating a natural space to relax, entertain, & connect with neighbors and friends. From here, you step directly into the heart of the home, where the Great Room makes an immediate impression with 25-ft soaring vaulted T&G ceilings, striking architectural detail, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and expansive chef's kitchen, featuring solid hickory cabinetry, extensive counter space, built-in drawer organization, RO system, prep sink, 36" induction cooktop, dual wall ovens with a concealed microwave above, and abundant storage.

Outdoor spaces continue to impress with a private covered deck off the primary suite and a rear deck ideal for grilling.

A U-shaped circular driveway, oversized 2-car garage, and multiple inviting outdoor living areas complete the property. Private. Inviting. One of a kind.
