NEW Group House Forming - Three Rooms Available Now Enjoy indoor/outdoor living in this ADORABLE historic house with pretty English garden that is a designated wildlife habitat. There is easy and free parking just outside the garden gate. WalkScore = 96 This historic, 3-bedroom house is available at all once for the first time in 16 years. This is a prime opportunity to be first in on a new group house. All three bedrooms are available now. HOUSE This charming, historic house is entered through a walled, English garden. Features include energy efficient windows, central heat and air, dishwasher, laundry room with full-sized washer and dryer, 9'+ ceilings, crown molding, and marble fireplace (wood-burning). Enjoying the fireplace in winter is easy because door-to-door salesmen arrive regularly to deliver and stack firewood in the garden. (There's already some seasoned firewood stacked and ready for you to use.) It is a bonus that the entire side of the house opens into a beautiful, private garden that is a designated wildlife habitat. The garden is peaceful by day with both sun and shade, and magical by night with the garden lights glowing. The garden is already furnished and waiting for you to start enjoying it right away. The garden includes several brick patios for dining and sitting; a pond with waterfall; an abundance of roses, flowering vines, and perennials; a bird bath (that gets used!); and garden lights that illuminate the garden at night. This is a fabulous place to enjoy coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening, or invite a few friends over to cook out and eat dinner under the large, flowering tree full of twinkling lights. BEDROOMS All bedrooms are upstairs and are flooded with natural light. Each bedroom is furnished with a bed, bedside table, lamp, desk, chair, ceiling fan and window treatments. The downstairs living and dining areas await your furniture. You will see all of this in the photos and video.
