This is what the current owners have to say about their home: We were very happy here for three decades. When we bought the house, its generous dimensions and location were a perfect fit. Due to its excellent daylight entry, we can enjoy the very first sunrays in the early spring, and bask in the comfortable warmth of the wood-burner during the winter months. We love reading a book or drinking coffee by the French doors. This is a perfect family home, offering plenty of space inside and out, as well as privacy and comfort. Children can play to their hearts' content in the large, secluded backyard. Our guests often tell us that the house is much bigger than they expected from the outside. Definitely worth seeing! Over the course of the years, we have extended and updated the house. The potential of this property is unlimited. This home fits us like a glove.
And so, you are more than welcome to come for a viewing!
