When you pull up to the home, the exterior immediately catches your eye. The stone accents, plaster and steep roof lines, evoke the charm of a modern European farmhouse or converted barn. Inside the four bedroom, 3 bath, pool home, you will be welcomed by the vaulted ceiling sitting area with a cozy stone fireplace and the dining and family area in view. A country style kitchen is off of the dining area featuring a kitchen island table, perfect for conversation while prepping and cooking. Conveniently off the kitchen, is the laundry room and a screened breezeway porch leading to a detached two-car garage.

The primary bedroom is located toward the front of the house, adjacent to the sitting area and features a vaulted ceiling, en-suite with tub and walk-in shower, walk-in closet and french doors leading to the outdoor living area. The secondary downstairs bedroom, is located off the family area and completes the indoor downstairs living. Upstairs, you will find two guest bedrooms with ample storage, flanking a full hall bath.
