General Overview

***More pictures to come! We are currently painting after putting new windows in*** We have a big, bright house with 5 bedrooms and an office. Our favorite part are the big windows with a lot of natural light and view of the trees around the house. From spring to fall we spend a lot of time in the screened porch at the back of the house where we have sitting area and a dining table for dinners in the fresh air. The lights hanging in the porch and outside in the backyard give a very cozy and romantic feeling after sunset. We have smokeless fireplace and Adirondack chairs around it where we spend many hours enjoying good time with family and friends. Our house is kid and baby friendly. We have a fenced backyard and 3 swings.
