Nice front yard, good air conditioning probably, but not a lot of bedrooms I bet. Also, possibly a damp a damp basement. LOL It's lovely and I love the LONG description. If I were there they would have to pull me out at dark or when my camera battery died. So fun! Hard to believe this is in the center of town from the photo, it must be behind you. Wonderful! Voted!!!
