Wedding weekend

Great older home in downtown McKinney that has been redone in a beautiful rustic style with all the modern amenities. Kitchen is amazing-I would love to have it in my own home! Wedding weekend with friends and family and the venues close by. Great downtown area close to everything you could need and then some.
