This house is even more visually interesting than it appears in the pictures. It is also spacious and comfortable. The outdoor space is an added bonus -- we spent quiet, sunny afternoons reading out on the patio by the lake and evenings chatting under the stars. The location is near a main road and a major bike path, but because of the siting of the house right on a lake it is also very quiet and private. Finally, the owner was extremely responsive and easy to deal with. The only cautionary notes: Be careful of the step down from the master bedroom (takes some getting used to) and the metal ridge that separates the tile in the kitchen and the carpet in the den (good place to twist an ankle, as one of us did). Overall, a unique, beautiful, comfortable, quiet property that our party of two couples enjoyed immensely. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
