Picture your morning coffee on the wide front porch, trees all around and not another soul in sight. That's the kind of privacy this place offers - wooded with landscaping that feels like it belongs there. Out back, you've got two more porches and a stone patio to spread out on, whether that's a quiet dinner for two or a backyard full of people who want to stay longer. There is plenty of room to make it yours. Step inside and the layout works. The living room sits at the heart of the home with wood floors underfoot and high ceilings overhead. The rest of the main level flows naturally from it. The kitchen is built for real life: a big island, storage, room to cook, gather and eat. Just off the kitchen, the dining room offers a larger entertaining space or could flex into a home office, playroom or quiet den. Windows on three sides, fill the sunroom with light. With direct access to the back porches and it's own dedicated heater, it's not just a nice spot in the summer, it's the kind of space you'll love to spend time in. The primary suite is the showstopper. Spacious enough to relax and rejuvenate, with a walk-in closet that solves your storage problem and a bathroom that feels like a retreat. Everything you need, including a mud/laundry room is on the main level, and two bedrooms upstairs give you options for guest spaces, an office, or whatever you need it to be. There's a high crawl space for extra storage, a portable generator that conveys and room for RV parking, so this is a home that is as functional as it is beautiful. This is the kind of place that makes you want to stay home.
