The home office and dining room enjoy pond views, creating peaceful spaces for work and everyday living. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the living area and the deck overlooking mature trees and the fully fenced backyard situated next to a tranquil stream. A main-level bedroom and updated full bath provide flexible options for guests or additional workspace. Upstairs, the primary suite feels tucked away and serene. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level, two with pond-facing windows that bring in soft light and tranquil views. The finished walk-out basement expands the way you live and entertain.
