You’ll love it because: Starting with the framed glass front door, every detail of this '50s brick ranch house has been rehabbed. It's a clever mix of vintage and modern: dual-sided fireplace; coved ceilings; spa-like bathrooms; new Pella windows; a saltwater lap pool to fall a little in love with. And the monthly HOA fee of $53 covers your water bill.
Here comes the ‘but’: Better get in the Christmas spirit every year for those Winterhaven Lights. The annual event stops traffic for several weeks in December - literally.
