A cozy retreat that will steal your heart - serene setting, gorgeous pool, checkered floors and a relaxed vibe about the space that makes it truly feel lived in and cherished.

A Timeless Treasure

Take a moment to admire this local home, incredible on both the inside and out....

Built in the 1930's its curb side appeal speaks for itself with its classic beauty and elegance - the friendly personality of its owners makes it all the more of inviting and special.
---------
The inside is filled with memories and passed down keepsakes - each with a story and meaning behind it. The needlework pieces are a labor of love and the unique china becomes more exquisite as the collection has grown over the years. Charm comes naturally with the character of an older home, but with all the treasured mementos and effortless elegance, this home is truly timeless.

Handsome at first sight...


Love the detailing above the front door!


Unique china that has been collected over the years...a beautiful contrast with the painted bookshelf walls.

Soothing landscape paintings fill the entryway walls.

An inviting back patio - perfect for intimate gatherings.

Firescreen needlepoint done by a family member - exquisite!


Have a look at this stunning chandelier. And who doesn't love a built in window seat?

Beautiful blend of styles - contemporary piece above the mantle with smaller antique frames below.
