*Note: This is a gorgeous property, and I get numerous requests for holding events here such as weddings, family reunions, etc., however, we are in a neighborhood and must be respectful of our neighbors, so the city will not allow events. Small gatherings are OK as well as photo shoots with pre-approval. If you are wondering if your idea or gathering is considered an "event" please ask, it is possible that we can work something out.
*Please note that this property is not recommended for elderly/handicapped folks who have difficulty walking as there are stairs to access the property and yard.
