The texture is small pieces of multi-colored crushed glass which is only apparent up close. The house is like a little castle / fort. It is incredibly solid. The rounded corners taper to a special flaring block that smoothly converts the rounded corners to the square foundation blocks. This home is in excellent condition and priced to sell. Neighborhood Description This is a beautiful, private, quiet neighborhood. The only sound disturbance is the sound of children playing across the street in the park, and birds singing.
