The professionally landscaped front yard cottage garden greets you upon arrival. It’s anchored by two River Birch trees and alive with colorful native perennial and pollinator plants, stone accents and low voltage lighting to create night-time drama. Once inside the spacious foyer, includes many custom architectural details, like board and batten wainscoting, shiplap accents, coffered and tray ceiling designs, crown moldings, and wide-plank, hand-scraped hickory hardwood flooring.
