Lastly 2 original copper shields are affixed to the brick finials capped with crown molding on both sides of the mansard roof line. There are three outdoor spaces to relaxation and entertaining: The top tier of the terraced garden in front of the home; a private enclosed patio with horizontal lumber and brick masonry walls; and a roof deck with city views to the east south and west. Solar panels provide reliable electric and SREC's that typically carry the entire electric load for the home.
