Perfect for Pets
We found the house to be perfect for our pet needs. They had the run of 3 porches and a backyard. The layout of the house with master bedroom on second floor was great, especially when we had visitors. The only negative comment would be the lack of kitchen space to store our dry goods. All the cabinets are full of kitchenware so we had to keep everything on counters which took up lots of space.
