    Someone will love it.

    For me the exterior rules it out; fake swiss castle, poor taste and a mess.
    The interior is spacious.

    The edwardian piano has no seat so is effectively a shapely table.

    I was going to say "at least the black piano has a bench." But it also has books set up so you can't move the flylid back without moving those books.

    IOW, the black piano is also a shapely table. 馃槢

                Well, here's the listing from 2021. Amazing view from the dining room.

                    Yea, that chimney does kind of get your attention, doesn't it? Guess they wanted to be absolutely certain there weren't any downdrafts into the firebox. And chimney plus the tree looked like a disaster waiting to happen.

                    New owners made it vanish for real.
