Beautiful but Be Careful
This home is beautiful, very spacious and immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable and we especially enjoyed having the pool table in the basement for games and fun. There was a hand-written note welcoming us along with two bottles of wine. Very nice touch. It was a perfect place for our family to gather and enjoy time together with our elderly parents who live nearby.
The house is located on a busy street so I recommend that anyone staying at the house plan to turn around in the driveway so you can pull forward onto the road. There is some extra space in the driveway to turn around but it is rather tight, especially if there are multiple cars. Be VERY, VERY, VERY careful when you turn around not to run off onto the grass. You will be charged a hefty fee (we were charged $250 to re-fertilize the lawn). The owner sent me a picture of the damage that resulted in this fee and I wish I could post it here so you could see how minimal it was. We did walk on the grass to take some family photos. Perhaps my 80 year old mother and father with their walkers caused damage? I strongly recommend you stay off the grass altogether. The sprinklers come on every evening at about 6pm in both the front and back yard so the soil and grass is wet and very soft. Also, be careful not to hit any of the small lights along the driveway, especially the one behind the turn around area. We hit one and damaged it ( which I self-reported ).
So, I can certainly say this is a lovely home with lots of room and great place for a group to gather. But, be careful, the owner is very particular. You may find yourself paying extra fees for minor things.
