Discover the unexpected, a mini-estate nestled behind stone walls, surrounded by mature plantings and lush, professionally designed gardens. Set on 1.8 acres, the grounds feature a stone patio, in-ground gunite pool, and picturesque vistas that make every season feel like a retreat. At the heart of this stunning property is an oversized custom-built, thoughtfully designed, brick Cape. From solid 6-panel doors and soaring ceilings to sunlit, spacious rooms, timeless craftsmanship was clearly a priority. The kitchen, centered around a massive island will impress any chef, with newer stainless appliances - induction cooktop, double wall oven, and a wet bar. A cozy sunroom just off the kitchen offers scenic views of the grounds, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Nearby, a mudroom, laundry area, and half bath offer practicality, and the attached garage includes an EV charger.

The library with custom built-ins adds a sophisticated touch. The primary suite is a spa-inspired retreat with en suite bath, oversized tiled shower, double vanities, and radiant heated floors.
