& many other wonderful original details. Besides being ''old'' & drippingly lovely, the house has musical history, having been built for and resided in by Mabel & G. Frank Warner, folklorists & folk song musicians. They were involved in bringing into the public realm the songs ''He's Got the Whole World in His Hands'' and ''Tom Dooley''. The Den was the music room. Outside: The porch-swing front porch- set up on a hill- is classic. The left exterior of the home has been fenced-in & hardscaped with an enclosed hot tub area & ''fire pit'' seating area. The entire leafy backyard is wood-fence enclosed. It has wending paths. The rear screened-in porch- added in 2013- is a highlight. The home has a driveway & private off-street parking. Backyard storage shed. Districted for George Watts Elementary School.
