This stately English Tudor offers 3 bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms, seamlessly blending timeless character with thoughtfully curated modern updates. Set on a private .66-acre lot, the home makes a striking first impression with its circular drive, mature landscaping, and warm glow of gas lanterns. An inviting 11x20 screened porch provides a serene, fully private retreat overlooking a wooded ravine, where the gentle sound of a flowing creek creates a peaceful escape.
