The beautifully landscaped grounds come alive with vibrant seasonal color from daffodils, azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods, a Japanese maple, and a bearing peach tree. Property features: Open concept, cathedral ceilings, custom lighting, freestanding gas fireplace, wheelchair accessible, fenced back deck with access to dog run, and a Generac generator.
