Whether imagined as a quiet studio, meditation room, or tucked-away home office, this space invites creativity and solitude in equal measure.On the lower level, the partially finished walkout basement offers a seamless transition to the outdoors. A graceful paver patio surrounds a tranquil fountain, creating a peaceful setting for morning coffee, evening wine, or weekend entertaining. The natural landscape beyond provides a canvas of seasonal color, privacy, and calm-without sacrificing convenience. Practicality is woven into the luxury here. The home is equipped with a Buderus furnace, known for its efficiency and durability, and a whole-house generator to ensure peace of mind year-round. Copper gutters add an elegant finish to the exterior while offering longevity and low maintenance. A 2017 roof, well-maintained mechanicals, and updated systems speak to the overall quality and care this property has received.
