Extensively landscaped grounds feature mature trees, stone walls and paths, a rose garden, a koi pond with a waterfall, an expanded deck, a heated spa, a unique exterior pool bathroom, a stone patio, a private nature trail, and gorgeous flowers at every turn. Architectural details include handcrafted tiles, reclaimed timber, custom cabinetry, and antique furnishings throughout. Offered furnished, with some exclusions.
