The main home is accented by an expansive wrap around porch with plenty of room for the rockers. Brew the ice-t and enjoy your serene surroundings as you sway away on the porch swing looking out to your .5 acre pond. Stock with your favorites for a leisurely afternoon of catch and release.

The home has a dedicated dining room, 2 guest bedrooms, interior laundry and a master suite. The master bathroom is down to the studs but positioned to flex as a pool bath if needed in the future. The Florida room is encased in all season windows that can open in the cooler months to allow for the fresh air to rejuvenate the space. Follow from the back, through the once thriving garden, to the one bedroom, one bath guest cottage.
