We chose this house because of the pretty backyard photos. We thought it would be great for our 2 dogs.
They were seeding winter grass while we were there so every AM the sprinklers turned on creating a muddy backyard. The first morning, I let the dogs out in the yard and they came back in with muddy paws all throughout the house. I had a lot of cleaning to do. Then I had to walk them on a leash in the backyard to try and avoid the muddiest areas and clean their feet every time they came into the house. By the end of the day the mud dried out but started all over again in the morning.
On day two, I removed the outdoor furniture covers to find every seat filled with rat poop. I didn’t contact the owner because I was afraid they would send someone over and brush it on the ground. But with out any notification from the owners, a group of landscapers showed up in the backyard (a heads up would have been nice) and used the blowers to blow the rat poop all over the yard. This was a health hazard I was trying to avoid. There is a hole in the backyard ground where the rat is because my dog saw it and chased it into the hole.
After we checked out, I sent a text to the owners telling them all of this and they apologized for the muddy yard and the unannounced landscapers but never mentioned the rat poop, even though I sent them several photos.
I am sure after the grass is in and the rat is taken care of, this would be a nice yard. I can say the master bed is very comfortable.
