What We Love: This cottage style home offers a timeless design with endless spaces to enjoy. Beautifully landscaped grounds create peaceful views of lush greenery through all the windows throughout this home. Living spaces are open and spacious with traditional styling that is warm and inviting. A neutral color palette creates an airy atmosphere while not detracting from the views. We especially love the four-season sunroom that blurs the indoor-outdoor boundaries and can be enjoyed year-round.
