"Working with Wyatt was excellent. The house was roomy, comfortable, great location and very nice amenities. FYI, the driveway is very steep, and although two garage spaces were included, we opted for street parking instead. So walking up and down the driveway, even with steps, was a little bit difficult for us "older" ladies. But the views are fabulous, we had a great time, and would return if we are ever in that area again."
