Hidden Gem in the Treetops: A Spacious, Inviting Retreat with Treehouse Vibes

Tucked serenely within a quiet, established subdivision, this warm and welcoming home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and space—creating a retreat that feels more like a treehouse than a traditional residence. With tree-lined views enveloping the entire back of the house, you’ll feel a world away from the everyday—yet still close to everything you need.

This three-level home boasts a surprising amount of living space, designed for both relaxed living and effortless entertaining. From the moment you step inside the airy two-story foyer, you’re greeted by an atmosphere of charm and openness. The formal living and dining rooms—adorned with elegant crown molding and divided by classic columns—offer a touch of sophistication. The dining room looks out over the lush, private backyard, while the living room features French doors that open to a charming front-facing private porch—perfect for enjoying a breeze, extending your living space, and creating a refreshing indoor-outdoor connection..

At the heart of the home is the thoughtfully designed kitchen, featuring light cherry cabinetry, a center island with cooktop, double ovens, granite countertops, recessed lighting, and a walk-in pantry. This chef-friendly space flows seamlessly into an oversized family room, where a cozy gas fireplace and a wall of windows invite natural light to pour in, perfectly framing the peaceful backyard canopy.

The main level also includes a convenient mudroom, powder room, and access to the home’s expansive outdoor living spaces—ideal for hosting gatherings or savoring quiet evenings under the trees. Whether dining al fresco on the vaulted screened porch or enjoying the open-air deck just beyond, you’ll appreciate the seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.

Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a restful haven, complete with a deep tray ceiling, ceiling fan, dual closets (including a walk-in), and breathtaking treetop views. The ensuite bath features a Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, double vanities, and tasteful tile flooring. Three additional bedrooms—each bathed in natural light (and one with a large walk-in closet) —share a spacious hall bath with a double vanity and tiled tub/shower combo.

The walk-up lower level offers incredible versatility with a sprawling rec room, perfect for movie nights with dimmable lighting to set the mood. A separate den offers flexibility as a guest room or home office, while a full bath with new flooring and two large storage areas provide function to match the home’s form.

This home is a place where life slows down, where every window offers a view, and where entertaining or relaxing comes naturally. If you’re searching for a home that’s full of heart, surrounded by nature, and offers room to grow—look no further. Welcome to your own private escape in the trees.
