This is our personal residence that we built for our retirement.  It's in a year-round family neighborhood with fulltime residents on both sides, so if you're looking for a PARTY HOUSE, please look elsewhere!  Absolutely NO INDOOR SMOKING, and if you smoke outside, you'd better not throw your cigarette butts on the ground (or beer bottle caps). 

Also, all your cars and toys MUST fit in the 3 garages and circular driveway, as there is no street side parking available (and cars will get towed).
