        I can appreciate it more than love it.

            The tennis courts I practically lived at in my teenage years are just around the corner. I used ride my bike past that house on my way to/from the courts and home...

              it's interesting to see the transition happening between the Victorian and Prairie architectural styles developing in this house. That fireplace alcove across from the front door is a Victorian idea with a more modern execution. Wish they showed more pictures of it. Is there a Zillow listing?

                It shows up on realtor.com with more photos, but shows the property is off market. The Property History indicates the last sale was the one in 2016 when the current owners bought it. I'm assuming that the photos don't reflect any of the changes that have been made since 2016. Maybe the house is not yet officially on the market. I checked the Realtor's site and I don't see it there either.

                Heck, the coach house is nicer than where I live currently...😀

                  Ha! Found an article from 2013 when it went up for sale last time. Additional pics and story about the previous owners.
