This home is a unique residence, located in
the heart of one of the area’s most desirable
neighborhoods. Realtor Ed Gunning says,
“This is not your typical two-story Tudor
home. It is a very unique property with all
the modern conveniences and amenities of
a new house, but it looks like it has been
there for one-hundred years, as it blends
in seamlessly with the older homes in the
neighborhood.”
