The McDowell is a one-story Arts and Crafts home with flexible, accessible design options and timeless curb appeal. Brick-based tapered columns, exposed eave corbels, and bold window trim highlight the exterior, while large front and rear porches invite outdoor living.

Inside, three separate bedroom wings offer exceptional privacy—including a guest suite with full bath and walk-in closet. The owner’s and guest suites can be customized with aging-in-place features like zero-threshold showers and wider doorways.

An open great room and island kitchen anchor the home, complemented by a walk-in pantry with optional scullery cabinetry, a spacious mudroom, and garage storage.
