This Property has its quirk's as mentioned above. These include only the lower level having ceiling heights of only about 6 feet tall, with exception of the door frames into the bathroom and bedroom. The shower in the bathroom is equipped with a removable shower head incase you're a bit too tall to stand up straight. Although very structurally sound, some of the flooring is a bit uneven, adding to its charm. Parking is off the shoulder of the road :)
*not suitable for those with mobility issues, it is on a hill, with many stairs*
Not suited for large dogs due to this as well.
pets upon approval allowed :)
