Property Description
Welcome to Galewood. A suburb within the city. Beautiful and meticulously cared for, brick 2 story home. Over 4000 sq.ft.

This space flows into a bright informal dining area with custom built-ins for additional seating, making it the perfect setting for daily life and casual hosting. From the kitchen, French doors exit directly to a sprawling pool deck and patio, leading to a secluded and quiet backyard sanctuary with a swimming pool, a tranquil fountain, and beautiful perennial gardens with an irrigation system. Beyond the kitchen, the home reveals its grand architectural scale. The formal dining room acts as an elegant centerpiece, connecting the kitchen to the expansive living room, which features a classic fireplace and abundant seating.
