FEATURED HOME
This rare lifestyle property sits on just over an acre near Olde Town and comes packed with possibility. The main home offers classic charm with hardwood floors, while the show-stopping custom garage delivers over 1,000 sq. ft. of heated, cooled, fully finished workspace — complete with a lift and its own full bathroom. Add in a separate ADU, utilities for another potential ADU, sprawling grounds with mature trees, a koi pond, and space to entertain or expand, and it truly stands in a category of its own.
It’s flexible, private, and full of opportunity — but can you guess the price?
