OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
This home was built in the 1920s and has been mostly restored. Here are a few things to consider about the home before booking:
-The home has high speed WIFI. Each Roku TV has been placed in Guest Mode. Input the dates of your stay and then log into your own streaming service accounts (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc). Once you depart Roku will automatically log you out of your streaming services.
-There is only one shower in the home and it is located on the second floor of the home. You will need to climb stairs to get to the second floor. The grout in the tile does come out a bit if you are trying to scrub it.
-There are only area rugs in the home over the original wood floors. The floor boards and stairs do creak when you step on them. The charm of older homes!
-The basement is unfinished and has the original brick and cement. Since it is unfinished, it is natural to see spiders and bugs. We do our best to keep them out.
-There is an active cargo train line near the home. The train passes several times a week at inconsistent days and nights.
-Air conditioning was installed in Feb 2023. The three bedrooms and the dining room have air conditioning/heat pumps units. Ceiling fans are also in the 3 bedrooms and floor fans. There is ceiling fans in the dining room and living room. On really hot days, it is best to close the drapes in the house. You can always cool off in the rec room that is in the basement with our 50 inch flat screen TV.
-The fireplace is not available to use.
-The second floor balcony should not be used for safety reasons.
-The extra bedroom/den on the second floor is unique. This room has 9 foot ceilings but slopes down to approximately two feet because of the architecture and design of the roof. It has two single beds and no windows or closet.
-The outside deck experienced some damage in a severe wind storm. The floor boards are uneven because some had to be replaced.
-There are several steps in the home. If you or another family member has trouble climbing steps, this home might not be a good fit for your stay.
