"The house is adorable! Claire has done a nice job with updates and upgrades here and there that really make a big difference! It was the perfect size for me and my two dogs! The fenced in back yard was a huge bonus and was big enough to allow them time to run around and burn off some energy. The tv in the bed room was mounted perfectly and was a great touch for snuggling in bed watching a movie. The house was well equipped with everything that you could possible need. It was nice that she had so...
