Once home to over 70 cats, current owners spent four years removing damaged woodwork, flooring and mouldings, marking each and bundling it for cleaning and reinstallation, as well as gutting and rebuilding all the plaster and lath before they could finally move in. 1927 home is a colonial revival style and takes its model from very early Georgian-period homes. Its current owner believes that this is one of few houses in the Hill to escape with little or no change except for decoration.
Lovely gardens surround the house.
