There are two spring fed creeks on the land.

Three of the four bedrooms are carpeted while the floors in the rest of the home are either hardwood or Mexican tile.  There is also a very large laundry room, mudroom, work area that is extremely useful; it even includes a dog bath. MerryMead has a three car garage.
