This week’s open house column is sponsored by Kate McDonough.
The local real estate market just keeps chugging along with close to 80 open houses in the greater Baristaville area. Sixty seven Cambridge has a nice sized dining room for those holiday dinners. I always end up at the kids’ table. Check out the cool powder room under the main staircase in the Victorian in Caldwell. Doesn’t the TP seem a little too far from the commode?
