This home was just as listed. Really neat house nicely re-done and updated. Nice little living room space for TV time. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was really nice . All bedrooms were very nice. Both bathrooms were clean and updated as well. Outdoor space was really neat just too cold when we were there to enjoy it. As listed there is a railroad track behind the home but wasn’t a reason not to stay there in my opinion. We visited the Ark encounter and the Creation Museum during our visit and this home is located between the 2 and close to Florence for plenty of dining and shopping choices .
