A most attractive home
built to live in,
not to rent;
built to last a lifetime;
beautifully finished and
decorated;
in the very best residence
district.
This is one of the best built homes in
Omaha. Stone foundation and base
ment under the whole house, and
solid brick above; full brick cross
wall No veneer. The porch steps,
front, back and to the sun parlor, are
all stone. The roof is slate. The coal
bins and fruit cellar of tile. There is
practically no cost for painting or re-
pairs.
The library with built-in book cases
is solid cherry; the halls and stair
case of oak. The dining room is pan
eled in Venitian oak. All floors up
stairs as we'll as down are hardwood,
quarter-sawed beach, except the kit
chen, which is maple, and tile under
the stove. A large double storm win
dowed and screened sun porch is con-
nected with both the library and din
ing room by French doors. The walls
of the first floor and upper hall are
covered with hand decorated burlap,
except the music room. There are
three bath rooms. The ample closets
all have outside windows and ward
robes and chest of drawers, which
will delight any woman. There is a
laundry, fruit cellar, furnace room
and space which can be finished for
billiard room in the basement,
which is cemented throughout. Soft
water is furnished from large els
tern. The house has gas hot-water
heater for summer use, thermostat,
electric outlets, etc.
1t is so we'll built that Is tons Of coal
will heat it throughout, and with solid
brick walls it is wonderfully cool in
summer.
As it is at the very crest of the hill
in the summer there is always
breeze there if anywhere. 1t is con-
venient to the car line and in the
choicest residence section of Omaha.
The price is very reasonable, and
terms will be made to suit the buy
