Tranquil Home in Beautiful Setting

Conveniently located within walking distance of Walmart, several restaurants, and beautiful Ada Hayden Park, it offers quick, easy access to well-traveled streets, while remaining tucked away off the beaten path for quiet and privacy.

The property is legally a duplex. This listing consists of the entire main level of the house plus a bonus bedroom, half bath, and laundry room in the lower level. The other "half" of the duplex is the remainder of the lower level, and has its own private entrance and full-time, wonderful, quiet tenant. You likely never would know anyone was there!

This space has been modernly decorated throughout, and includes a living room with seating for 9, a spacious kitchen with a dining table with seating for 8 and counter seating for 2, four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.

Each bedroom comes equipped with a queen bed and TV. Three of the bedrooms are on the main level, and one is on the lower level.

This house sleeps 9:

Bedroom 1: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 2: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 3: Queen (x2)
Bedroom 4: Queen (x2)
Portable Mattress: (x1) Best for children

In the summer, you can fire up the grill and enjoy outdoor dining on the back deck, where you can relax and take in the peaceful and spacious .80 acre back yard with the beautiful woodsy view!

This house includes driveway parking for three cars. Street parking is available for overflow.
