Pros
Well-maintained and in move-in condition, the house has large rooms with lots of natural light and plenty of closets. Recently updated bathrooms add to the fresh look of the house. A lower-level bedroom and bath make a perfect guest or au pair suite.
Cons
Flimsy closet and interior doors detract from the otherwise stylish décor. The koi pond might be of concern to those with young children.
