Classic brick, tucked behind a privacy hedge, with the kind of curb appeal that makes you slow down when you drive by. Two car garage, beautiful setting, and then… wait for it… a fully finished apartment above the garage. Yes, really. Inside the main home, you’ve got soaring vaulted ceilings, two skylights pouring in natural light, and a stone wood-burning fireplace that anchors the whole living space. The kitchen is a functional galley layout with a cozy breakfast nook that feels like the perfect spot to start your mornings. Now let’s talk about this primary suite… because it is BIG. Like 15x28 big. Plenty of room to create your own little retreat, plus a massive walk-in closet and an oversized bathroom with a soaking tub that was made for slow evenings. There’s also a huge bonus room tha t could easily serve as a third bedroom, game room, office… whatever fits your life. And the laundry/utility room? Packed with cabinetry and storage. Everything has its place here. Step outside and it only gets better. Multiple sets of French doors lead you out to a screened-in lanai with an in-ground heated pool, giving you a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle setup. And then the guest apartment… such a game changer. Full kitchen, full bathroom, walk-in closet, and tucked away above the detached garage. Perfect for guests, extended family, or even a little income opportunity. And did I mention that both roofs were replaced 2023? All of this sits on over 6 acres, zoned for animals, with scattered shade trees that just make the whole property feel peaceful and established. There are multiple sheds and outbuildings, plenty of room to spread out, and yes… this is absolutely the kind of place where a tire swing or picnic table just makes sense. This isn’t just a house, it’s one of those properties you have to experience to fully appreciate. And once you do… you’ll get it.
