This refined Acadian farmhouse offers approximately 2,789 sq ft of single-story living with optional bonus space. It features 4 to 5 bedrooms, up to 4½ baths, a gourmet kitchen, home office, and generous porch areas.
Exterior & Curb Appeal
The façade showcases a painted brick exterior, balanced gabled rooflines framing a 6′6″‑deep covered front porch, and symmetrical dormers centered over French doors—combining elegance and southern charm.
Office & Entry Flow
An office sits just off the foyer and is easily closed off with barn-style doors for privacy. Ahead lies a foyer open to the great room with soaring 12′ ceilings—creating an inviting first impression.
Great Room & Kitchen
The expansive great room features a fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry and views that extend through the rear porch into the kitchen. The kitchen offers a large 4′6″ × 9′ prep island with seating, a hidden walk-in pantry, and direct access to a formal dining room.
Outdoor & Grilling Porch
A grilling porch with its own fireplace sits just outside the kitchen—perfect for warm-weather entertaining and extending the indoor kitchen zone outdoors.
Bedrooms & Suites
The master suite is quietly located on one side and offers tray ceilings, dual closets, separate tub and shower, and a spacious private bath. Secondary bedrooms are positioned on the opposite wing, two of which share a Jack‑and‑Jill bath; the fourth bedroom includes its own bath.
Bonus or Flex Area
Stairs off the main area lead to an optional bonus room of approximately 491 sq ft with its own bath—ideal as a guest suite, studio, or media space.
Storage & Utility
A mudroom connects the side-entry two-car garage directly to the rear porch and kitchen area. A pocket door accesses a powder room and the mudroom, while built-in lockers and storage zones support easy organization of daily essentials.
