Pretty house, but not worth the price
The house is pretty, but was lacking hot water for a number of appliances. I had to reset the tankless water heater numerous times just to get hot water out of the master shower. The automatic gate did not work, requiring us to open and close it manually (often in the rain), and the property had an abnormal amount of flies around the outside any time we stepped foot in the backyard.Again, pretty house but lacked many basic things that should go without saying at this price point.
