In the living room, abundant sunlight pours in through oversized windows, and you can kick back and relax as you take in views of the Narrows Bridge and gorgeous western sunsets. Details like the beautiful brick fireplace, wood paneling, and wood beams overhead all contribute to this haven’s 1950s character while creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere you’ll love spending time in.

The layout flows right into the spacious, light-filled dining area, and from here the kitchen is right at your fingertips.

Immaculate landscaping features a myriad of plants to enjoy, and a charming pathway winds its way through the front yard. A section of raised garden beds is ideal for cultivating your very own fruits and veggies, and a patio is perched at the top of the hill, offering views of it all!
