maining built-in furniture and the beautiful leaded glass French doors that opened to the veranda. In addition, recessed halogen lighting was installed everywhere which makes the interior of the house look more like something out of modern architectural magazine. Frankly, these latest changes are totally unsympathetic, and were made only to increase the marketability of this local landmark for a more general audience who would not be aware that the building has not actually been "restored" or "preserved" The interior of the building does not retain its "architectural integrity and character"! The sellers who had absolutely no interest in preserving great architecture, are asking $729,900 (down from $749,000). Based on comparables in the neighborhood, this is way overpriced and the house is doomed to sit on the market for some time. Let's hope it doesn't sit too long and become (God forbid) another teardown. So, let the buyer beware. Even though, if the price was more reasonable, the Netzel house would be a great opportunity for someone to restore a landmark, it is not restored at this time
