The functional layout provides comfort, privacy, and adaptability for a wide range of lifestyles.
Set on a fully usable flat lot of 16,113 sq ft, the outdoor space is a standout feature rarely found in today’s market.

Despite its privacy and spacious feel, the property remains conveniently located near top-rated schools, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes.
