Nice to hear from you, Ed. The kitchen really just needs a more neutral color and it would fit the house better. I'm sure it's a lot more functional now! -Julia :-) Interesting!

The back lot line is up against what looks like a commercial street. rick go to http://maps.live.com enter address, 3994 Rose Hill Ave, Avondale, OH 45229-1448 I think the interiors are beautiful, but the kitchen needs 2 coats of neutral paint. a rich tan would be great. the major down side I see is the location. when I enter the address into Live Search Maps you can see how close a 5-6 storey Apartment? building and detached garages are to the east of the property.

Beautiful kitchen; wrong house. But can I just say something about the library? --THEY HAVE A LIBRARY-- The fact that I am obsessed with books is probably one of the things that makes me odd. No, it's not because of books, books are awesome, it's because I absolutely love books, but I never read them. You see my mom is a librarian, I just got a job (for the fall) that will be in a library, and both of my parents read books like none other. I don't ever remember a time that they weren't in the process of reading a book, or getting ready to read a book. But any way, off of my little soap box thing, I love the idea of having a room in your house, where you are completely surrounded by books.

Every house had tons of bookshelves and they were all stacked to overflowing. Then there were stacks of books on every table and surface in the homes. I think a lot of professors live there because it's not far from both U.C. and Xavier U. My dad said that when he worked at U.C. they used to have parties at the administrators' homes in this area, too. One old mansion had a huge butler's pantry, but instead of using it for dishes, the glass-fronted shelves were used to hold rows and rows of hardcovers. Mamacita--that's exactly it! It does look like a Key West kitchen, giant fishing lure and all. :-) I have never seen so many books as I did on this house tour.

I saw the library and immediately wanted this house. (I don't have that many books, Melissa, but only because I don't have space for them.) The kitchen color, I agree, could be maybe a bit more in keeping with the rest of the house, but I love this place. That staircase. Man! And at under a million, next to the mutli-million castles you've featured, Julia, this seems like a bargain at twice the price. :) I love Melissa Lewis’s comment.

Doesn't at all flow with the rest of the house. Who really has that many books?! The kitchen isn’t bad, I think it just feels like someone else sneaked in and incorporated a different style.
