Lovely property in a perfect location. 5 adults and 4 children were very comfortable here. The fenced in side yard was perfect for our toddler.

This house has a great location. Lots of restaurants, shopping and grocery stores within an easy walking distance. The house accommodated all of us easily. Allowing us to spend time together in the living room or around the island in the kitchen.
