Redfin agents who toured

Cute front yard space with plenty of room for gardening. Open main floor with large dining and living room space. Upper and lower levels are finished nicely, Ceiling height on both of these levels is on the shorter side. Bathrooms are both nicely...

Front entry into living room leads into dining, then kitchen to the left. SW facing windows in living room, shaded by front yard trees keeps home a cool temp, but not a lot of natural light. To the left of front entry is bonus room/office.
