Below is the old stable. Check out the stone walkway - same stone is on the fireplace. In "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" there's a scene where Myrna Loy explains to Cary Grant an exorbitant charge for a stone floor in her flower potting room - I'm recalling this from memory, so I'm not sure I got it right, but.... she explains in her cutest most perplexed voice that she simply asked the workers to lay a little of the "extra stone" in her flower potting room.

View from the top of the driveway, where it turns to the garage. In the garage is a stack of all the original glass doors belonging to the house.

Kitchen. The window above the sink looks into the downstairs bathroom, which is a bit odd. But I can work with that.

Can you say "dream house"? I've always wanted a fixer-upper. That looks perfect! Go get it ;)

I love it. We'll just need to get a couple families to go in on it together and we can fix it up! Gorgeous house!
