On a winter's evening, sit by the fire or play the baby grand in the music room. During the warmer months, enjoy the private deck and a fenced yard set off by magnificent trees and lovely gardens. A quaint shed holds bicycles and more. You'll find safe parking for 4 cars on the premises, wonderful neighbors, and excellent schools, some within walking distance. An enchanting and comfortable place to call home...
