Down a private four-home lane in Beaver Bank, this six-year-old Marchand Homes split-entry sits on over an acre, offering a quiet, wooded retreat with everyday connections close at hand.

Doors open to the back deck, extending daily life outdoors. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. Downstairs, a third bedroom, second full bath, and a cozy rec room are joined by a large, fully finished walk-out space—originally planned as a garage, now customized with windows and currently used as a music room.
