MORE INFORMATION
This house is an historic Robert Twitchell home, newly renovated with over $100,000 of improvements. Completely modern while maintaining the Frank Lloyd Wright style. You can read more about Ralph Twitchell on Wikipedia.

Tennis is played on the court from time to time and we have occasional college and professional players who take advantage of our beautiful court and setting. Guest are always welcome on and around the court during these practice sessions. And, allowed to freely use it when these sessions are not occurring. The vast majority of the time the court is available to you.

Pool Notes: The private pool is heated and screened in. The pool is kept at 81℉. You will not have the option of changing this as anything above 81℉ is costly. If you want a warmer pool we can discuss this when you arrive. An additional daily fee will be required and the limit will be 88℉ depending on outside air temps. The heater has a safety feature and automatically shuts off when outside temperatures fall to below 50℉. Why? Because the heater's coolant cannot function properly at lower temps.

The Master Bedroom has a widescreen television with Apple TV4 Live TV. There is private high speed FIOS internet throughout the home.

This is a non-smokers home. If you smoke please find other accommodations. Smoking will not be tolerated in or around the property.

This rule applies to all forms of smoking including e-cigs, vaping, hookah, etc. Any use of illegal drugs will be reported to the authorities. Medicinal Marijuana is not an exclusion to these smoking rules.
