Cute, Darling are just a couple ways to describe this 4 bedroom home...( 1 br suite and 3/4 bathroom in a beautiful and professionally finished basement) The awesome 4 season room doubles or could be a 5th bedroom with 2 queen size sofa sleepers. We can accommodate a maximum of 8 sleepers Also mut see for yourself the 2 new bathrooms that were gutted and expanded into 2 gorgeous bathrooms with tile work that is 2nd to none. Remodel does not stop there as the kitchen upgrades make this quaint space enjoyable to cook your favorite meals. Back to the 4 season room - it has full floor to ceiling windows on 3 sides and so bright and cheerful with an old fashion orange Heat n Glow type fireplace. (ask if it will be available for use) Sliders to a wonderful lighted patio and firepit but it is the view this private back yard that makes it so peaceful. It's easy to see why you'll be able to unwind at our place...... Oooops I just realized the pictures need updated..... Ask me for new pictures... I will delete this remark once I upload better pictures.
