Other Things to Note:

A note on the setting, so there are no surprises on arrival: the house sits close to South Mebane Street, a busy through road, and you will hear traffic, especially at the front of the house. Each bedroom has a white noise machine on the dresser to help with that. The fenced backyard is across the rear parking area from the house rather than off the back door. We would rather tell you now than have you find out when you pull in.
