Some like to relax by reading, others play sports, some like to fish, or perhaps watch birds. This meticulous and thoughtful seller enjoyed rehabbing this home over many years using ideas gleaned from his worldwide travels. Stand on the front stoop and enjoy a fine view of Campbell Square Park and the beautiful cathedral beyond. Enter through the handsome, new, insulated stucco front exterior wall.
