Thanks for your comments, ladies!! It really was a thrill to have been able to tour this beauty. We haven t seen it since it s final touch ups but, it is more beautiful than many homes. I m not sure if it will be on tour during Alumafandango as it may be delivered car rentals in canada to the owner prior but, if not, they weren t sure the owner would allow it. I know I wouldn t want a ton of visitors after spending that kind of cash on such an extensive renovation. Cheers!!
