A very good supply of extra slate shingles will be found in the attic for repairs. Peer and Beam construction. The house is built on the Austin Chalk Formation of the Cretaceous. There is a 220 outlet in the front bedroom for a larger window unit air conditioner if desired. Both window unit air conditioners are new, and in good working order. The back yard landscaping was accomplished several years ago to complement and extend the Spanish architecture of the house. Access to the work shed is by key. The two very large Live Oak trees in the front yard were planted in the early 40’s and are two of the larger Live Oak trees in the Lakewood area.
