This ranch-style home was built in 1972 by a local contractor who built many of the neighborhood homes.  It is solid and safe, passing all inspections required when I purchased it in 2006, and refinanced in 2009.  It has evaporative air conditioning and central heat as well as a fireplace.  We were raising a family here with three children and were very comfortable.  The backyard was easily the highlight of the home for us as a family, where the kids could enjoy playing on the sheltered patio, grass or sandbox within view of the kitchen and den windows.

The abundant rose bushes and the peach tree are also key features.  The peach tree produced enough fruit that we were able to can a bunch, eat 'till we were sick, and give away bags that remained.  We were also able to raise a productive garden on the south side-yard of the home.  The lawn and most of the roses are on automatic watering systems.

The neighborhood is very quiet and calm, and we were able to cultivate many close friends and positive acquaintances on and around the block.  For being so close to all that the city can provide, you really get more of a quiet suburb feel.

The whole time we lived here, we were able to park both vehicles (a mini-van and a full-size sedan) in the garage.  There is a large storage platform above the garage where we were able to store all we needed for our five-person family and keep the rest of the home uncluttered.
