The two pictures above show the house before and after the 1998 renovation/expansion. We tried to retain the integrity of the original 1930's structure while updating it for the needs of today's familys. An interesting note about the history of the house: It has been said that the house was utilized by bootleggers during its early years and that a treasure in gold is buried beneath it. The prior owner so believed this legend that she cut a piece out of the floor in the center of the house and searched the ground below witha metal detector. Alas, no treasure was found, but she made me promise to split it with her if we ever found it !! If you look closely at the floor in the living room, in front of the mirror doors, you can see the indentation where the floor was removed.....
