This circa-1985 Colonial sits on around 3/4 of an acre & delivers both nostalgia & modern living. From the moment you arrive, the property makes an impression. Twin live oaks frame the entrance as a brick walkway winds its way to the welcoming front porch.

A bright sunroom with wet bar creates a perfect space for morning coffee, casual dinners, or gathering with friends. The home's flexible floor plan offers four bedrooms & 3.5 baths, with one bedroom & 1.5 baths downstairs & three bedrooms plus two full baths upstairs. Two of the upstairs bedrooms open onto the home's beautiful second-story balcony, complete with double swings—an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting.
