Why they chose this property

The property was originally build in 1890, upon buying this property we kept the original structure and transformed minimal areas such has added on closet and electrical updating, insulation and plumbing, other then these minimal updating requirements, the house was kept in it's original condition, original woodwork etc.
It makes this house a unique place to be and to call home even if it's just for a short stay. :)

What makes this property unique

Wake up to a beautiful sunrise sitting on the front porch rocking chair or swing, walk out to a game of basket ball, use the exercise bike provided for you in the hallway and soak in the large Antique clawfoot tub feeling refreshed. Enjoy all your amenities included with nothing more then sitting back, turn off your stress and mind and let the day take you wherever you wish in this small friendly Strawberry town where you will feel at home away from home!
