    What the owner loves about this home
    We love the comfort of the geothermal heating and cooling, the spacious 24' × 44' garage, and the extra room provided by the double lot. The basketball hoop and poured concrete slab are great for outdoor activities, and the freshly remodeled basement is one of our favorite spaces in the home. We also love the soft water system and convenient hot-water hookup outside, which is great for washing vehicles.
