A sunlit dining room opens to a spacious deck through French doors, while the fireplaced living room offers a peaceful retreat. Upstairs, the en-suite primary is accessed via a private stairwell and includes an adjacent room ideal as an office or den. Two additional bedrooms enjoy privacy and picturesque vistas of the Arboretum.
