Tucked away at the end of a private lane, 1956 Highlawn Rd offers a rare 2.9-acre wooded retreat where privacy and nature surround you at every turn. This spacious 3 bedroom, 3 full bath split-level home was designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Step inside to the formal living room, while the upper level opens into a welcoming layout featuring the kitchen, dining area, and family room overlooking the living space below.
