Custom designed from 1960 - has the feel of a Kentucky horse-country manor home. Very well maintained original condition including the baby blue that was so popular at the time. Gracious room sizes in the living areas with great light from over-sized...
windows. 1st floor master. No basement. Livable now but most will want a complete interior re-do. Lot backs onto a stream. Nice private setting with woods. Great project for the right person.
