I also really liked the Woodside house -- perhaps because it appeared to be owned by the cat strutting across the lawn. Enjoyable post.

The history you shared is so interesting to me. The painting of the family farm though is the winner. But I really sat up and took notice at the mention of the Slade School of Art. Slade is my maiden name, not one I run into very often. Usually "Slade" is a name associated with the bad guy in a movie western. It's nice to read the name in a different context for once.

The current street view of it behind the fence with all the lush growth of trees and shrubbery looks very inviting, and the addition of the nicely done deck certainly adds to its appeal.
