I remember when this house was in Southern Accents and then I "discovered" it driving down Ptree Battle one day when I was in town..so classic and beautiful.

I agree that the landscaping is exquisite and makes it seem like the house was there forever, like an English estate. I certainly envy the houses in your town - we have so few with that grace and beauty here. Beautiful work by everyone. But I must admit, I do not care for the off-center stairway.
