Approached by a wide, gently rolling drive along Balmoral, the home reveals itself with ease and intention. The main level is centered around the kitchen where living, dining, and family rooms flow together over warm maple floors. Solid oak cabinetry anchor daily life, built for longevity and effortless gathering. The primary suite is a quiet retreat, distinguished by a sunken resting nook oriented toward garden views"”a contemplative space ideal for reading or slowing down. A generously scaled en-suite bath completes the suite without disrupting its calm. Two additional bedrooms and a second bath round out the main level, keeping everyday living comfortably on one floor. Downstairs, the home opens up dramatically. An oversized bonus room offers remarkable flexibility"”guest space, office, studio, or media room"”while the adjacent two-car garage doubles as a refined workshop with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and abundant storage. Outside, approximately 18,000 square feet of landscaped grounds create a park-like setting. Tumbled pea-gravel patios, shaded gathering areas, and mature plantings provide privacy and year-round beauty, while nearby hiking trails extend the lifestyle beyond the property. A home where architecture, setting, and adaptability come together with quiet confidence.
