About This Home

As of July 2015

Talk about LOCATION! OK Let's talk about it. This 4 bedroom home is located on a quiet street in one of the desirable and hottest neighborhoods. You are literally steps away from The Piazza, Orianna Hill Dog Park, not to mention all the swanky coffee shops and delectable restaurants. This is definitely a walkable community. Let's not forget to mention that you are extremely close to The University and all major highways and public transportation. Come on let's face it! You aren't just buying a home you are also buying the area.
