About This Home

As of November 2013

While this home, built in 1952, has a certain amount of charm with partial wood flooring and open beam cathedral ceilings, the highest and best use for this almost one level acre site is to develop the property as an estate with a single or multi story home, pool and possible tennis court and guest quarters. Lots like this rarely come on the market in the estate area of the Muirlands and a buyer with creativity will craft a singular home on this site. The home is being sold "as is" without warranties.
