Tucked away on 20 wooded acres in Lakewood Schools, this property offers a rare retreat-style setting with exceptional privacy, abundant outdoor recreation, and space to entertain inside and out. The home features 3 bedrooms plus a first-floor office that could serve as a 4th, along with 2.5 baths. The spacious first-floor primary suite includes two walk-in closets, and a large ensuite bath with conveniently located laundry. Both upstairs bedrooms also feature walk-in closets.

A screened porch off the dining area opens to an inground saltwater pool, outdoor kitchen, and expansive entertaining space.
