Friday Five Hundred: This Perry Heights Three Bedroom Will Sweep You Off Your Feet

By Joanna England / June 29, 2012 /

I was just cruising MLS, minding my own business, and BAM … I ran into 4303 Rawlins, a listing from the adorable Jory Walker of Coldwell Banker Apex Realtors, and my search was over. I had to show you, dear readers, just how gorgeous this home is.
