Main House

The house was constructed in 1946 by a structural engineer who built bomb shelters. There are approximately 1600 square feet of covered cantilevered decks supported by 7″ x 12″ steel beams and beautifully chamfered rails of formed concrete. The current owner has updated everything from roofing to mechanical systems to make the home efficient, light, bright and ready for today’s living. A full list of quality details can be provided.
