And where do we start - Those wooden ceilings!! Huge rooms. 4 BR 3BA. Even a laundry shoot! Updates include New Roof, New Water Heater, New Privacy Fence, New Pool House Breaker Box. Still plenty to put your touch on. - unless you love that wallpaper upstairs :) Book a tour today!! Pool has not been opened while seller has owned the property. We're told it is a "Gunite Pool" "Gunite swimming pools are popular for their versatility in shape, as well as their durability. Because of this, gunite is used at many resorts. Unlike traditional concrete, which is poured by section into wooden frames, gunite is applied in layers using a specialized spray gun. This means that gunite surfaces don't have seams like traditional poured concrete, making gunite pools extra-durable." (swimming pool.com)
