The extensively renovated main residence features 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, while the attached 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ADU was thoughtfully converted from the property's original 1989 barn. Together, the residences showcase vaulted ceilings, elevated design, luxury finishes, and distinctive details, including reclaimed barnwood incorporated into the ADU.
