We were drawn by our home's classically simple, but elegant, exterior design. The interior lends itself well to family life and social gatherings. We will be expanding the private quarters to include a third floor master suite and larger second floor facilities, while maintaining the architectural integrity. The many fingerprints you see belong to all of the children of the neighborhood. We are preserving them in case of kidnapping.
