Very cute property! The house has everything you could think of the you may need. You are only about a half a mile from the main drag, even though you are on acreage, and seem secluded. Close to restaurants and stores. The pond on the property is beautiful, and relaxing. There’s a little pair and some benches that you can sit on. It was a great place to watch the sunset.
