This house really bums me out. It is a great place with a fountain around back and a nice copper lined built-in planter in the kitchen. The windows are really nice awning style that still operate. A number of people have tried to buy this house, but the current owner appears more content to let it rot to the ground.

House has been under contract and set to close soon; new owners have plans to preserve as much as possible of the original design and style of the property.

Good news! The house has been repaired, renovated, and sold!
