I am a little surprised at this house on the inside, especially having been previously owned by a judge. Is it just me or is this house unusually plain on the compared to other houses of this size, age and location? It seems to me that the framing, moulding etc were just put in to put in but not of quality. I don't know maybe I am going crazy. It just really surprised me like I said. Any insights on this?
