The dollar house

Renovated inside and out, no really. This wasn’t lip stick on a pig like my competition, this single family home has new plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows, roof, siding, and more. This well appointed house offers safety, comfort, and convenience. Located on a well-lit street w/ exterior cameras, it's within walking distance to parks, trails, pickleball courts, community pool, and bars and restaurants. A noteworthy perk: charge your electric car in the driveway with our 220v or 110v.

The Coop

Once a real chicken coop still on gravel road. No TV or Wi Fi . Create a personal hot spot. VT marble countertops. Deck with ample shade. Pine trees. Mid century furnishings. Original art. English major books. Wild bird feeder! Pets welcome. FREE half dozen eggs for one night stays. Cold pressed honey from Tom's bees. Up the road from local award winning winery. Can be dusty because I do not dust every day. Hopeful, quiet, very simple. The Coop is not a sterile hotel room
