“We bought this home because of the neighborhood. Our son was young, and the house is on a cul-de-sac, so it was very safe.
"Next to our property is a two-acre lot of public land that can’t be developed and makes our property private.
"The house is very light and bright. One reason is the atrium entrance. The rooms are big, but the wood-burning fireplace in the family room makes it feel cozy.
"We have an open floor plan, and it’s wonderful for guests to be able to mingle and socialize easily.
"The kitchen is enormous. . . . The master bathroom has a cathedral ceiling and skylight. It’s big, bright and has a Jacuzzi tub. We like the walkout basement. It’s very convenient.

"The basement isn’t finished, but it could be an office or another recreation area. There’s tremendous potential. . . .
"A new roof was put on in the summer of 2015. We have a shed in the backyard for gardening equipment because I love to garden. We landscaped the property ourselves.”
