This home was purchased in July of
2000 from the estate of Mrs. Margaret
Demmy. In her late 80’s when she
passed, she lived most of her adult life
at this residence. She moved in with
her husband and his parents. Her husband
passed away nearly 30 years
before her. Mrs. Demmy was a nurse
at Allegheny General Hospital. She
took excellent care of the house and
retained the natural woodwork
throughout the home. Note the beautifully
polished wood banister on the
staircase, the French doors to the sunroom
and the built-in china hutches in
both corners of the dining room. The new owner began transforming the gardens in the summer of 2000. Gradually all of the grass was removed and replaced by perennial flower gardens. The garden ornament in the center of the rear garden is called an armillary sphere and is covered with a clematis vine during the summer months. The statue of lovers in an embrace was rescued from the garden of a home under demolition in Deep Creek Lake, MD. |
