A welcoming, farmhouse-styled front porch with superb vistas of the tranquil pond, sweeping green lawns, mature shade trees, and a Pinterest-worthy walking bridge sets the tone for countryside elegance indoors. The 4-bedroom, 2,771 sq. ft. main house has a Cape Cod architecture coupled with a southern-styled brick exterior, and is equally suited for entertaining and intimate family time. It boasts spacious rooms, including an oversized living room with an exposed brick/wood burning fireplace, two-story soaring ceilings, a den, and a formal dining room.
