The second floor includes a primary bedroom with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, along with two other bedrooms connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom. The home boasts an expansive family room with a large wood burning fireplace and an at-home office that overlooks the scenic land. A stunning veranda offers breathtaking views of the outdoors.
