Britanny Cheney was amazing in assisting me in touring the property. She was very friendly and helpful with information that could be concerning for a new residence. Would highly recommend her for a tour.

Very nice updated rooms, floors and carpets. Also very spacious even though it's a little over 800ft but it's not bad at all. The self guided tours was a challenge trying to figure out the lock box but it was good.
