Skip the lines at area restaurants by ordering from your own private Italian chef. Message for more info and cost.

PLEASE NOTE
The main level of this home is one level up from ground level.

Beautifully surrounded by a sprinkling of mature trees, you’ll feel like you’re remotely tucked away in the woods. However, the expressway is a quarter of a mile away, and the traffic can be loud at times when guests are outside. We have taken measures to seal the home, and road noise is minimized within the house.

There are two security cameras on the outside of the property; one at the front door and one over the garage. Both cameras only record when movement is detected and both record both sound and video. These are the only cameras on the property.
