Zara's house is better than the photographs. If you like Mt Washington and Mid-Century Modern that has not been ruined, this is the place for you. The design is impeccable. The kitchen has been updated with Miele appliances, but it was done by the original architect. The bathroom may be a bit small for contemporary tastes, but I am glad that the original is intact in design.

Zara was a wonderful host who lives next door and was on top of everything. We arrived to wine and cheese.

I wish we had scheduled a day to just stay in the house. My only regret is not having spent more time here. I look forward to staying here again, and would recommend it to all my friends. Bring a good book, hide away the TV and take in the view.
