Description
Designed and built by the owner, ''Cedar Manor'', a Mediterranean inspired structure, sits centered on a 2.7-acre parcel, above the road, behind majestic round brick columns, fence, and driveway gate. The property backs to protected land and the Assunpink Wildlife Refuge, presenting total privacy. The meticulously landscaped grounds have transformed the mature oaks, pines, and maple trees into a summer shaded private park retreat. Accented with lush lawn, pachysandra, rhododendrons, flaming bushes, butterfly shrubs, ferns, and many more creative gardening techniques for a setting that provides complete use of the acreage for activities. The gunite pool, pergola, fantasy designed fireplace, and trumpet vine covered red brick arched window walls and patio add old world charm. Recreation and relaxing can be enjoyed day and night with the creative lighting. Nature enthusiasts can enjoy the hummingbirds, butterflies and all nature's creatures' turkeys, turtles and toads relaxed in a chair from any location on the artistically designed property.
