6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
While the home has several upgrades and renovations, there are key safety concerns that were not disclosed by the owners. The basement, which is minimally shown in the listing, includes multiple walk-out sliding doors that lead directly to a poorly fenced, uncovered pool. When we arrived, one of these slider doors was not only unlocked but fully open, creating both a security and mosquito issue. The windows in the basement are in poor condition, with several broken or non-functioning latches, making the space unsuitable for young children.Additionally, a large tree obstructs access to the lower driveway, preventing SUVs from reaching the flat parking area. This detail was only updated on the guest page after we raised the concern. We also found numerous wasp nests around the property, beer and food in the fridge and a mold-filled washing machine that required extensive cleaning before use.I reached out to the owners, and while they responded promptly by sending someone over, the individual was limited in what he could address. Several issues require permanent resolution to make the property truly suitable for families. The listing should accurately reflect the large sliding doors and the safety concerns they pose, particularly for young children. The windows and fence need proper repair, the overhanging tree and wasp nests should be removed, and the cleaning crew replaced, the mold and cleanliness were unacceptable.
