Mature pines shade the walk to the covered porch, and both the sidewalk and driveway are finished in exposed aggregate, the drive holding 4 cars. Inside, oiled tavern oak runs the length of the main floor. The living room is built around a wood burning fireplace, and the dining room's plantation shutters change the light hour by hour.

The kitchen was reworked in white cabinetry, butcher block counters and a coffee bar you'll use before anyone else is up, with more storage than the footprint suggests. 3 bedrooms sit down the hall. The primary has his and hers closets, a 3 pc ensuite, and a window seat with storage underneath, wide enough for a book and a slow Sunday coffee.

Downstairs holds a second kitchen, a large rec room, 2 more bedrooms, a 4 piece bath and a second laundry. The back garden faces southeast and takes the morning sun: raised vegetable beds, a small pond fed by a rock waterfall, brick paver patios for eating outside, a vine covered pergola with a swing, and a slide under the spruce.
