Here's what the sellers had to say: "The fenced backyard has been a great treat. It's patio is ready for cookouts anytime. Parking is really easy on the street. We love how easy it is to get to Route 1 and go anywhere we want in minutes. And I love, love, love the jacuzzi tub! We've found that the house is on a hill, so the front views out the windows are always of nature, especially since the Germantown Cricket Club's lawns and green landscape is across the street." Easy to show. Quick settlement possible. Showings start Tuesday June 15th!
