The bedroom features a king sized bed with a memory foam mattress, thick comforter, and microfiber white sheets. Attached to the bedroom is a large bathroom with brand new washer/dryer, shower and appliances. The large barn door to the bedroom opens to the living room giving an open concept feel to the space. Spacious living areas include a living room with a 55" smart TV, (Netflix & Prime provided) and an electric fireplace conjoined with a dining room table for meals, working from home, or board game nights - games are provided! The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances including a retro fridge, farmhouse sink, small oven and stove, coffee bar, and basic necessities. We have a Keurig, French press, coffee grounds, K-cups with Starbucks coffee, teas and hot cocoa, sugar and cream in the fridge. One of the highlights of our property is the spacious backyard. Unwind surrounded by tropical plants, flowers overflowing from the window boxes and numerous outdoor seating areas. A hammock, 2 large decks (one with privacy walls and a brand new 5 seater hot tub), a picnic table and stumps around the Solo-stove fire pit give you plenty of options to enjoy the evenings. We provide wood and starters for the fire pit. A privacy fence ties in the atmosphere to give you privacy from surrounding businesses. The charm continues as you sit and relax on the rocking chairs on the front porch, where you can sit and sip your morning coffee with views of the historic district, a mural, the library and Saturday’s “dollar book store” traffic.
