The owners wanted to provide for the ability to remain in the house as they grow older. The unique layout of the house created a need for a 3-landing elevator system, even thought the house is only two stories.

The happiest of Halloween seasons will always have the nearly 4 ft. Batilda Witch Figure making a star appearance. There's something unmistakably charming about artist Joe Spencer's creations and their amazing ability to draw a room full of smiles and delight. Big on personality and designer appointments, Batilda is dressed to impress in an oversized hat, cape, and elaborate, patterned dress embellished with varying stripes. Black corset and delicate tulle provide added texture and visual interest. Plus, here's a treat: Batilda also cuddles her pet raven that's sporting a matching witch's hat. Masterfully handpainted features and a whimsically large nose make Batilda's face one guests will never forget.
