I am rather biased about the neighborhood, having grown up in the Park and missing it ever since moving away, but the location was superb for walking distance food, shopping, walkable neighborhood. And the House was an amazing quiet retreat. Meditative and tasteful with an incredible stereo system, book collection, music, dvds. Definitely a place to admire and respect, not for people who want to party or entertain. Doug is gracious to share his treasure of a home with respectful guests.
