☆☆ Other Things to Note ☆☆
-Dogs are welcome but the yard is not fenced. -The garbage disposal switch is under the sink. -To access the screened in porch you need to use the side door and walk outside. -Cordless blinds can be fully opened by pushing up from the bottom. To close gently pull down. -Our home is situated on a spacious wooded lot. While we take pride in keeping the property clean and well-maintained, please be aware that occasional encounters with nature—like spotting a bug or two—are possible. This is a normal part of life in a wooded area, and we appreciate your understanding! -There is a train nearby so on occasion you might hear the choo choo. -This home is in a vibrant urban neighborhood so you could experience some normal city noise or construction from time to time but normally it's a quiet neighborhood. -There is a sweet little bird who likes to tap on the outside of the kitchen window occasionally.
☆☆ Safety ☆☆ Your safety matters. So we have outfitted the property with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well as fire extinguisher and first aid kit.
You will have private access to the entire home for the duration of your stay, including the outdoor spaces.
