Love the house !! It's one of those rare houses that you get a great feeling from the first time you walked through the door. One of my favorite things is the square burgundy color tub in the bathroom. The floor to ceiling corner windows have a great view from the livingroom to the Gun river and the huge front yard. Stone planters along the front and around the side terrace add a mid century flavor to the outside as well as the monolithic chimney for the fireplace. The original garage door for this house has to weigh three hundred pounds and four of us couldn't lift the thing. My brother-n-law was able to get the original 1953 garage door opener to work perfectly....just plain awesome. I think my brother-n law said it best when my sister asked over the phone from Florida how the house "felt" he said "it felt relieved". After two years sitting empty and neglected the house is now slowly returning to what it once was, a beautiful home. |
