My kinda people!
Last week we spoke about deer in Crestwood – thanks to David for sending a couple photos of thise beauties from his yard:
I’ve been featuring a lot of Crestwood homes as house of the day this week – a good chance to check some in person – from an email:
“CASA KAOS 2015
Crestwood Tour of the Homes to Fund Low Income Housing
Question: Where does the Tour begin?
Answer: At the house EVERYONE (slight hyperbole) is talking about – the new house on Mathewson! You can stop wondering what it looks like inside because Myron and Judy have invited you in!
A few titillating facts:
The house began with a vision for a modern glass house on a hill in the woods and found a life in Crestwood. Their architects and builders created their tree house with open architecture and multiple terraces including an expansive terraced patio.OUTSIDE feast your senses on Asian gardens, a waterfall and a white cedar porch. INSIDE there is even more: European fixtures and appliances and Italian cabinets in the kitchen. The bedroom even has its own terrace with a jacuzzi, lacquered Italian bedroom suite and a TV cabinet with an electronic lift and an Italian bubble soaking tub. Plus the house is “smart”, controlled by mobile phones or i-pads; motorized shades and screens,computerized lighting, and an AV system in every room.Come see it for yourself….
DATE: Oct 25th
TIME: 1 TO 4
WHERE: START HOME: 4226 Mathewson – where you will pay and start the Tour
DONATIONS: All funds raised go to TRANSITIONAL HOUSING CORPORATION – THCdc.org
COST: $20 if you rsvp in advance here. $25 at the door.”
Thanks to a reader for sending from Crestwood on Matthewson Road. Do you dig it?
Ed. Note: I pray we get to take a virtual tour of the inside one day too.
