This isn't a 'Moving', or 'Downsizing'... Sale.

Everything....Goes.

The 'Living' owner, has a Fully Furnished Home....in Arizona.

This, is going to be a Big....Sale.

The Home, 

{I call it a 'Mansion'... 

It has a Servants Staircase. It's 5000 square feet. 

Has a Billiard Room, on the Third Floor. {with an 1860's Billiard Table. : ) }

The Home was designed by the same Architect...that designed 'Brucemore' Mansion, 

in Cedar Rapids.

Yet, it feels, warm... and Homey. : ) 

It was built, for a Czech immigrant, 'businessman', who had a Large Business....in Cedar Rapids...during the early 1900's.

 The President, of Czechoslovakia, spent much time...in this 'Home', in the early 1900's.

My Maternal Grandfather, also...immigrated from Czechoslovakia...in the early 1900's. 

He was a Farmer. <3 

This, 'Home', touches my heart. : ) <3 }

Here are a few...images.

There will be more, {many}....when I get things...arranged. : )

{oh...dear. : ) <3 

Pray...for me!!! <3 }

Took this image...of a Doe, standing out on the Lawn.
I was coming down the staircase....from the third floor, and saw a Large...Doe, standing beside a tree.
She had two Fawns....not far, from her.
<3
This Home...sits on a couple of acres...or, so...high, on a hill...in the middle of Cedar Rapids.
I, never knew it existed.
