Offering approximately 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this exceptional 4–5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home sits directly across from community parkland delivering rare open views, natural light, and a sense of privacy that is simply hard to find in today's market. From the moment you arrive, the home's full brick facade, mature landscaping, arched entry door, and classic shutters create an impressive first impression that sets the tone for everything inside. Step through the front door into a welcoming foyer where rich hardwood floors flow throughout the entire main level.

The ez Mortgage Calculator is for educational purposes only. Real-world interest rates and payments can differ due to factors like market trends, location, and loan specifics. Calculations are based on your inputs and might not consider extra costs a lender may add, such as insurance, taxes, and fees; thus, actual repayments could surpass estimates.
