Pros
The house is in move-in condition with sunny rooms. There are baths, some recently renovated, on all levels. A lower-level bonus space with its own entry would make a nice au pair setup.
Cons
The primary bedroom suite and rooms on the second level do not have hardwood floors. The stream and pond may be problematic for those with young children.
