Comment: (12.104.244.38) I wish the current owner would do something with this beautiful home; it is presently in great disrepair...

Comment: (12.75.134.82) This home always looks in need of restoration but nothing is done I understand it is costly but it is a hosue that can be georgeous,but in its current state makes Summit Avenue look bad

Comment: I dont think it makes Summit look bad. It is sad to see though. From what I have been told the house has been in one family for some time and the current owner is elderly, with no close family.

Comment: this house is beautiful. like people you cant judge it by outward appearances

Comment: This is a beautiful home. If it is in the same family for a long time it is no doubt loved and appreciated even if it isn't restored to your standards. I agree with the above comment - you can't judge by outward appearances!

Comment: Just walked by this house the other day - it is in very bad shape with 4 old cars parked in the drive. (2 of them are Yugos!)

Comment: very sad to see

Comment: this home deserves a complete restoration

Comment: Just because this house does not live up to your richy rich standards of living. If it looks so bad to you,,open up your checkbook and do something about it.
