Designed for both comfortable everyday living and unforgettable gatherings, this six-bedroom, four-bath home offers the space, flexibility, and setting today's buyers are looking for.
Inside, the heart of the home is the generous kitchen and inviting family spaces, where gatherings naturally become the centerpiece of everyday life. A spacious family room flows into a dedicated game room, complete with a pool table and built-in ping-pong table—creating an ideal setting for holidays, weekend guests, or simply enjoying time together.
Need room for everyone? You have it.
