    What the owner loves about this home
    I grew up in this home and have tried to take good care of it. I love the big east-facing windows—sunrises are amazing, especially from the kitchen. The west side has trees and a grove, so we don’t see much sunset, but it offers good wind protection. It’s so quiet out here. The property is just unique all around, and I’ve always loved the freedom to make it truly my own without restrictions.
