Encompassing over 25 gorgeous acres, the property is enhanced by flowering Dogwoods, vibrant Redbuds, mature evergreens, and brilliant perennial gardens. A long winding driveway unfolds across lush woodlands, board fenced pastures and sweeping manicured lawns, marking the entrance of this stunning four Bedroom, four Bath traditional home.

Gleaming wood floors, crown moldings and chair rail complement the room and are featured throughout the residence.
