What makes this property unique

Ours is a full private home with a resort-style backyard you won’t find anywhere else in EaDo: a stock-tank Cowboy Pool, a 3-hole mini golf course, cornhole, and an outdoor dining area under string lights. Inside, there’s a 75-inch home theater, foosball, ping pong, a Breville espresso bar, and a standing desk for anyone working remotely. We sleep 12 across 7 beds with no extra guest fees, and we have a Level 2 EV charger in the private 2-car garage. The whole place was designed for groups: families, friend trips, graduations, game weekends, where everyone actually wants to hang out together instead of leaving to find things to do.
