The property was overall excellent. A problem for seniors are the steps to get into the property and to get upstairs. The bannisters are very low befitting a house built in the later 19th century. No grab bar in the upstairs bath/shower and tall bath. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a lovely, clean, spacious house. Great owners. The only problem for seventy something’s are the stairs.
