Discover the unexpected, a mini-estate nestled behind stone walls, surrounded by mature plantings and lush, professionally designed gardens. Set on 1.8 acres, the grounds feature a stone patio, in-ground gunite pool, and picturesque vistas that make every season feel like a retreat. At the heart of this stunning property is an oversized custom-built, thoughtfully designed, brick Cape. From solid 6-panel doors and soaring ceilings to sunlit, spacious rooms, timeless craftsmanship was clearly a priority. The kitchen, centered around a massive island will impress any chef, with newer stainless appliances - induction cooktop, double wall oven, and a wet bar.
