Nice house

Great except, on such a busy, wavy road and with no one home, he needs to post the house number on the property. Wasted a lot of time and finally a neighbour led me to the house.

Disliked: Cleanliness

not quite "the white house"

Older house recently updated but poorly completed....drywall dust not cleaned up, loose door handles, kitchen drawers that did not work properly, over the stove microwave with cord that came out and plugged in counter outlet. Spring rental, and the ants and lady bugs were sharing the space. BUT....the price was right....so lower your expectations and be happy!
