The place

A secluded manse with a distinctive red-brick facade.

The property is on a relatively quiet cul de sac, so the occasional game of street hockey shouldn’t be a problem.

There are three parking spaces, which is less then a buyer would usually get at this price point. Then again, there’s room for a car lift in the garage, if needed.
