Out the main entry to the front yard, there is a newly paved street, that overlooks the local school and elementary playground. This 2 story home displays carefully crafted details that have stood the test of time. The wood floors were milled right her in Rock Port, MO, at a lumberyard that once existed under the name Dierks Lumber. The wood floors, unique built -ins and wood trim are in amazing original condition, not adulterated by paint or oils.
