OUR HOME Our home is our sanctuary, and we are thrilled to share it with you! This is our personal home; we have lived here for over 15 years. I have two kids with many hobbies (hence their collections in their rooms!). It is designed with love and fully appointed with unique personal touches. Though it has been upgraded and remodeled over the years, it is a 100-year-old house that retains its original charms and some of its quirks. We ask that you treat it as your own and enjoy it!
The whole house is yours to enjoy, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and outdoor patio. The garage, basement, and office will be locked for personal items. Please ignore anything in the drawers, cabinets, closets etc., as this is where we live, and not a rental home with empty storage.
Some house rules: -No smoking anywhere on the property. -No parties or large gatherings. -Please be VERY respectful of our neighbors - they keep a close watch on the neighborhood, and I don't want them to frown on future rentals. -Sorry, no pets please.
