Outdoors, the property is equally enchanting. Landscaped gardens bloom from spring through fall, while a private bluestone patio with firepit and BBQ area sets the stage for summer entertaining. A newly crafted front stone wall frames the home beautifully, adding dimension and a sense of timeless luxury. The extended farmer's porch offers the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and take in the changing seasons.
