Wow! This exceptional, brick-front home rests on 1.76+ acres, with a custom gunite freeform pool, hot tub, and professionally designed hardscaping and landscaping. The resort-like backyard boasts not only the custom pool, but also a stone patio, outdoor fireplace and iron fencing. As you meander through the outdoor spaces, you will notice that the landscape architect spaced out a unique blend of year long beauty enhanced by front and rear lighting and mature peach, apple, and pear trees. The perennial garden is a pollinator’s dream with hydrangeas, lilacs, peonies, butterfly bushes, milkweed, black-eyed Susan's, daffodils, tulips, and roses. A natural privacy wall has been created with the use of laurels and weeping willow. You will experience an abundance of spring beauty with flowering dogwood and crepe myrtles. But wait, there’s more to your backyard oasis, on cool evenings relax in the six person hot tub or warm up beside the stone outdoor fireplace! The custom pool includes blue stone coping, a pool heater, and brand new pool pump. Staged for family comfort and enjoyment there is a Lifetime Playset surrounded by rubber mulch.
