The space
The house is mid century modern and is lovingly decorated and lived in. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do! Recently remodeled bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked.
The living room opens up to a large yard perfect for bbq or morning coffee.
We'll be sure to leave plenty of space for you in the refrigerator, cupboards, and closets.
There are also two lovely small dogs that live here. Gunther and Norman. They are best friends. Gunther is a senior pup at 17 years old. He is very friendly and enjoys pets. Norman is more shy. They have their own in and out doors with a large yard so they are very independent. Your dogs are welcome too as long as they are friendly and get along well with other dogs.
