Pros- it is a large house with three separate rooms each with their own bathrooms. It is about 15-20 minute drive from downtown in a pretty setting. The kitchen is well equipped. Cons- not for anyone with mobility issues as there are numerous step ups/downs. This house needs a major cleaning - dust, mold, cobwebs.
