The single level layout allows for easy movement throughout the home, supported by thoughtful details such as in unit laundry, a dedicated workspace, books, and board games that encourage unhurried time together.

Outside, the private backyard extends directly into the surrounding woods. A fire pit and outdoor seating area invite evenings spent under trees rather than lights.
