Why this home stands out
Nearly a full acre in an established Suffolk neighborhood is genuinely rare at this size. The cul-de-sac setting on East Shallowford Court means low through-traffic and a generous, private lot that gives you real breathing room — front, back, and side. Pair that with 3,663 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths, and you have a home that handles both everyday family life and larger gatherings without anyone feeling squeezed.
