The main living space runs oak hardwood under a vaulted ceiling with skylights, with the eat-in kitchen at its center, so cooking, dining, and living all share one bright room. It's a single-level home with all the living space, bedrooms, and bathrooms on one floor with no stairs. There are three full bathrooms, two of them private ensuites. Roommates each get their own bath, in-laws or guests get a private ensuite, and there's still a third full bath for everyone else. The washer and dryer are down a short set of stairs in a mudroom. Directly behind this home is the Weyanoke Bird & Wildflower Sanctuary a protected preserve that can never be developed. The sunroom looks out onto the calming green space of the bird sanctuary.

Central air keeps it comfortable year-round, and a tankless water heater means hot water doesn't run out, even with three bathrooms in use.
