Inside, an open-concept living and kitchen area flows naturally to an intimate backyard - equally suited for weekend gatherings with friends or a quiet afternoon with a good book. The primary suite, with its own private entrance, offers a rare kind of flexibility: a serene personal sanctuary, or a thriving short-term rental that already comes with a warm track record of happy guests.
