"When we first bought it, we expanded the house before moving in. We added the den, a bathroom, a walk-in closet and a clothes closet. We have lovely neighbors near to the schools and houses of worship. The area is not secluded, but it’s not as busy as other areas. We have a big backyard for kids .?.?. The house is set back .?.?. It gives a very nice appearance.”
