As of November 2024Family compound with 5-BR house, plus 2-BR cottage, plus huge artist studio, all on 1.5 acres within walking distance of schools and park.

Huge open back yard surrounded by house, sheds, cottage and studio to enhance privacy, yet all on an in-Town cul-de-sac. Needs some updating but basically good shape and all functional.
