Pros: Kitchen area and island are perfect for meals and work. We spent most of our time indoors enjoying that spot. We also really enjoyed the pool and outdoor seating area and were lucky to have great weather. Our favorite aspect of the back yard was that it abuts open space, a wild and overgrown canyon (hummingbirds, dragon flies, and a hawk visited daily) and though neighbors to the west sit high above and have full view of the back yard, we did not mind.
Cons: House is in need of some basic maintenance: carpeting is stained and old, walls have holes, curtains are torn, some bath fixtures are loose on the wall, landscaping needs TLC, outdoor shower doesn't work, etc. Freeway noise is pretty significant, as the 15 is quite close.
