This has been our personal home that we have enjoyed & have been slowly remodeling for 16 years now. It has been an awesome place to raise our children and we have had many Holidays and Celebrations here with our friends and family. Now it is time for us to downsize. We are looking for a family to pick-up where we have left off.
