Built-in, stone planter boxes are overflowing with beautiful flora. A gorgeous, custom-made metal handrail adorns the front steps - a special thank you to local artist, Andrew Preiss for this one-of-a-kind piece of art! Contemporary shapes and a variety of textures create allure before you even walk in the door. To prepare this home for the market we have given it fresh paint, inside and out. You'll open the deep green, solid wood front door and arrive on original parquet flooring overlooking the three secondary bedrooms and their bathroom on this, the top floor. To your left is a modest set of stairs guiding you to your main living level with solid floors and massive windows - natural light and nature views flood in. Your dining room is sizable and your family room is large. An attractive fireplace takes the stage and a recently painted upper deck gives you the outdoor space you need to grill and entertain.
