Pros

The open kitchen and dining area is a welcome gathering place. There are bathrooms on all levels. Its spot at the end of the street is private and offers additional parking spaces.

Cons

There is no garage. The interior needs some work as does the front sidewalk. Noise from a nearby highway can be heard at times.
