Featuring a brand-new kitchen range hood (2024) and newly replaced garage door springs (2026), this beautiful carriage house captures your attention immediately with its highly desirable first-floor primary suitecomplete with an elegant tray ceiling, dual vanity, soaking tub, and two spacious walk-in closets. Perfectly positioned next to a serene wooded buffer with no neighbors directly to the right or rear, the home blends day-to-day utility with comfort, offering a private screened porch, an open-concept family room with a cozy gas-log fireplace, and a completely separate second staircase leading to a secluded guest suite or home office above the rear-load garage.

Warm flooring flows underfoot, guiding you through spaces designed as a blank slate for your personal style. The heart of daily living centers around the kitchen and family room.
