The freshly landscaped wraparound yard creates a living canvas that changes with each season, while long-time neighbors foster the kind of community which feels like family.The moment you enter, the home reveals its graceful flow through a circular journey of spaces designed for both solitude and connection. Two oversized picture windows flood the living room with natural light, leading to a sun-drenched dining room where 180-degree garden views through wood-lattice windows blur the line between indoors and out.
