Comment: (12.75.134.82) This home is maintained as best as it can be

Comment: Okay, sorry but what does "as best as it can be" mean. This is a magnificent home. Obviously you are missing the point on how important it is that these beautiful homes are still around. These homes are architectually fascinating. I wish I could live in a neighborhood as beautiful as this. Give credit where credit is due.
