The first impression upon entering is one of space and warmth, with rich wood floors and an impressive sense of scale setting the tone for a home designed for both entertaining and everyday life.

Two additional bedrooms share a recently remodeled Jack-and-Jill bath, while one of the bedrooms features a charming twin Murphy bed with built-in bookcase (perfect for guests, hobbies, or flexible living). Numerous thoughtful improvements have been completed throughout the home in recent years, with a detailed list of updates available upon request. Outside, the home truly comes into its own. An expansive paver patio, enclosed and glassed-in just one year ago, creates an exceptional extension of the living space. The fully fenced backyard overlooks a heavily wooded preserve, offering a peaceful, park-like setting and exceptional privacy. Evenings around the firepit beneath the pergola, surrounded by twinkling lights and lush landscaping, create a private outdoor retreat that feels worlds away. And then there is Palencia where the lifestyle is every bit as special as the home.
