Some of the amenities of the park are a play-ground, Gazebo, basketball courts, water fountain, and plantings for the botanist enthusiast, and many historical references on Marshall Park's website. Just walk a few blocks and you're in the center of town. This incredible brick built home circa 1872, has all the ambiance, charm, character and elegance one would expect and yet all the modern amenities required in today's homes.
