Then we went into the Premier neighborhood by the Glenview country club and they have the two story attached homes there and beautiful Premiers as well. A couple of the homes were painted with really, really, unusual colors with extremely unusual accent colors.

My question is this. Can't the unseen powers see that these homes are kept to a certain attractive standard up north of 466?

And if either of these places belonged to any of you, I am going to kill myself.

If you go to Harmeswood bring a good book to read or your iPad to work on mail while waiting for that silly 'prison' gate to open.
Around the turn of the century the Developers 'opened up' and allowed custom homes to be built there within limitations.

There's one place in Harmeswood with the most overgrown trees in the county (though the back yard of the place is the Marion line) and locals nickname it 'the haunted house' and other such names.

it's been vacant and FSBO for what some think is 6 years and the only way to see it is to buy it.
The 'seller' claims the home is free, as he claims the lot is worth the $750k he's asking. If you call he says you can look in the windows to see it.

There's also a 'waterfront' place on the same street with a huge indoor pool looking for an owner.
