The Main Character

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extended stay. Zero complaints. Soaker tub? Yep. Walk-in tile shower? Obviously. Fireplace? Hot when on fire. Big back deck? Bigger than mine. Quiet neighborhood, but downtown is still right there. Make it make sense. Would stay again. JK, I used to live here. Would absolutely gatekeep, but instead we’re renting it to you. More people pulled up than expected? Say less. Check out our whole-house listing called Big House Energy. It includes both levels and doubles your space.
