The single-level main residence is thoughtfully composed for elegant entertaining and relaxed daily living, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces that create warmth and architectural presence throughout. A formal living room and dining room anchor the home, while the gourmet kitchen appointed with stainless steel appliances, custom alder cabinetry, quartz countertops, and an inviting eat-in area flows seamlessly into a spacious family room, ideal for gatherings both intimate and grand.

Two additional bedrooms and a guest bath provide comfort and versatility, and the main living areas are all oriented to embrace effortless indoor-outdoor living and direct access to the backyard oasis. An attached butler's quarters with private entrance, kitchen, bedroom, and bath along with an attached two-car garage presents exceptional flexibility and may be seamlessly integrated back into the main residence for expanded living or multigenerational use. Enhancing the estate is a detached ADU positioned above an approximately 1,200± square-foot garage, offering wains-coating staircase, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, fireplace, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances. The garage below boasts a half bath and laundry hookups, ideal for extended family, guests, or income opportunities.
