TENNIS \ lots of backhand compliments, ‘muscles’ rosewall had it all

W ith 23 majors, including eight grand slam singles titles, Ken Rosewall has earned his spot among the greats of tennis. Nicknamed

“Muscles” by teammates for his distinct lack thereof, Rosewall was instrumental in the evolution of tennis from an amateur game, played by part-time hobbyists, to the major professional sport it is today. \

JO DAVY [email protected]

1 \ Rosewall’s parents were keen tennis players, his mother, Vera, a source of constant inspiration and encouragement throughout his career.

2 \ An eight-year-old Rosewall holding his first racquet with a long handle at the family home in Rockdale, NSW, in 1942.

3 \ With (from left) Lew Hoad, Harry Hopman, Mervyn Rose and Ken McGregor, Rosewall embarks on his first overseas trip in 1952. The Sydney-to-London flight took three days and two nights.

4 \ Rosewall and Jack Kramer consult the board during the Wimbledon Championships in 1970. John Newcombe eventually emerged victorious over Rosewall in a hard-fought final.

5 \ Appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the Queen’s Birthday Honours of 1971, Rosewall was joined at Sydney’s Government House by his parents, wife, and sons Brett and Glenn.

Famous for his powerful, accurate backhand (left), Rosewall credits his father, Robert, for the formidable stroke, described by tennis player and administrator Sir Norman Brookes as “legendary”.

A testament to his longevity, Rosewall proves he’s still got it well into the 1990s, winning an ATP Seniors Tournament in Germany.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? I love all the sport. We go from the races to tennis to golf to the grand prix. It’s the best time to be in Melbourne.

What does summer mean to you? Long days and alfresco dining. Summer always means a lot of time at the beach with the kids and Michael. We all love the beach, and some of our best family memories are there.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? At the beach and then some afternoon drinks at a nice wine bar with friends.

Where do you usually spend summer months? At home in Melbourne. It’s always so nice and quiet as everyone is away – the best time of year!

What does summer mean to you? A time to relax, celebrate and enjoy time with friends and family.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? An early game of golf at the beautiful Spring Valley Golf Club then straight to the beach. Sharing good food, a few drinks with friends and watching the sun go down in St Kilda.

Where do you usually spend summer months? I often head down the Great Ocean Road with family and have a few quiet weeks surfing and cycling.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Taping one half of a tennis ball and playing backyard cricket all day with my brother.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? The Christmas art displays around the city. I stumbled across Melbourne Town Hall one night and was swept up in an amazing light show projected onto the front of the building.

Shelley Craft \ hosts The Block All Stars, which premieres on Channel Nine on Monday, February 4 at 7pm.

What does summer mean to you? As a child there was always the anticipation and excitement of a new

school year. There’s still that energy of what a new year might bring.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? Lazing at home with a fridge stocked with fresh food and a house full of friends – barbecue cranking and tunes gently playing in the background.

Where do you usually spend summer months? Depends on work, but the last few years have been between Melbourne and Byron Bay.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? It would definitely be the Slip ’n Slide on the front lawn with the detergent flowing and the sprinkler blasting. With water restrictions these days – kids don’t know what they’re missing!

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? My two-year-old daughter, Milla, learning to swim and hold her breath underwater.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? The vibe of the Australian Open, the long, long daylight hours and the city’s outdoor evening venues are alive!

Tom Harley \ is a dual premiership captain of Geelong Football Club and swisse ambassador.

What does summer mean to you? It used to mean preseason training but now it’s family time and a chance to recharge for a new year. And a great time to read the books that I put off all year.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? I spent six years living in Torquay, where I had the best beaches in the world at my fingertips. I now live in Sydney and the beaches are pretty good here, too.

Where do you usually spend summer months? I’m an Adelaide boy, so I always head back home, and my wife’s family are New South Welshmen. So we rotate. To throw another spanner in the works, my sister-in-law lives in Whistler, Canada – hardly summer but great snow skiing!

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Backyard cricket and swimming. I was very fortunate to grow up in a house that had a tennis court and a pool. My two brothers and I spent all day playing sport. Blond hair, tanned skinned – fair to say, times have changed.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? For Christmas, 2011, the whole family was in Adelaide at dad’s house. It was the first time for a long time that the whole Harley clan celebrated together. It was magic. Backyard cricket again!

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? I love going to the Australian Open and the music festivals, like the Big Day Out and The Falls.

What does summer mean to you? Time to unwind, be outdoors and recharge the batteries. I love the time to clear my head before setting goals for the year ahead.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? Unstructured and spontaneous. It would definitely

include swimming, laughter, a fresh salad and at least one extra-large gelati as the sun goes down.

Where do you usually spend summer months? Now that I’m not skiing in the northern hemisphere during the Aussie summer, I love enjoying the beaches. There is so much to explore within an hour of my own home … why go away?

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Daylight saving meant more

time playing outside with other kids, eating Sunny Boy ice blocks, ripping down the Slip ’n Slide and playing street cricket. Total freedom.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? Summer makes me feel grateful. Time seems to stand still and you can just potter around. I’ve been spending heaps of time in the kitchen and baking treats. I made the cutest gingerbread men and a pineapple, mint and ginger sorbet.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? Buying fresh fish at Vic Market, eating veggies from the garden, barbecues with friends, kicking back at the moonlight theatre, late-night swimming in the bay, attending the Aussie Open … (J

What does summer mean to you? Family time, holidays and going to the beach. It’s a great opportunity to spend some quality time with my family and friends.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? At Safety Beach having fish and chips as the sun sets with my parents, my brothers, and their families. We pull out a big table on the sand by my brother’s boat shed, sit around and watch the sun set.

Where do you usually spend summer months? In my downtime, I go to Mount Martha with my family. As summer is party season, I always have a lot of corporate shows across Australia, so I also spend a lot of time travelling with my crew.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? I remember going to Dreamworld when I was

about 11. We took the whole family and mum’s family, too. There were about 20 of us and it

was like living a real-world fantasy.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? I spent this summer with my five nephews and nieces. I get to relive my childhood summer memories with them. This year I bought them all water pistols and we played a trick

on my mother!

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? Everyone is outside

more and is happier as the weather is nicer. The days are longer too, so we get to enjoy all that Melbourne has to offer for longer.

Patricia Ilhan \ founded the ilhan Food allergy Foundation with her late husband, John.

What does summer mean to you? During the year it is so busy with after-school activities. So the nicest thing is to come to Portsea and not have a time to get up or go to sleep.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? At Portsea when it’s warm, but with a cool sea breeze. There’s not a cloud in the sky, the older children are by the pool, the younger ones are on the trampoline and I sit with a girlfriend and chat.

Where do you usually spend summer months? At my beach house, but January is a wonderful time to stay in Melbourne, too, after the chaos of Christmas. What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? We went to Brighton or Sandringham beaches. We’d get an ice-cream from Mr Gelati and drive home with the car full of sand.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? Aydin, my son, has a birthday on January 5 and every year we have a big party at Portsea. The house is full and my last guest never leaves before 10pm.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? The fact that a lot of people have left town. If I drive to my local shopping strip in Church Street, Brighton, I can always get a park.


Natalie von Bertouch \ is captain of the Australian netball team, the Diamonds.

What does summer mean to you? Summer means being able to spend time with my family and friends, particularly after not being able to see them as much during the netball season. It’s also a time for preseason training, which means feeling fit and healthy.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? The perfect summer day starts with some

exercise. My latest craze is bike riding and kayaking with Jace (my partner), followed by a day at the beach with some friends and dinner watching the sunset.

Where do you usually spend summer months? I like to get away to Point Elliot but the rest of the time I like to

stay in Adelaide.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Every year in January we

went with family friends to a shack in Point Turton. We’d stay for a week and spend time at the beach fishing and playing cricket. We spent the evening cooking on a balcony looking over the ocean. It was the best!

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? Spending time with my friends at their shack in Point Elliot over New Year’s – going to the beach, having barbecues and, hopefully, learning to surf.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? The tennis and the Boxing Day Test. Two things I would love to be able to go to. \

Ricky Ponting \ was captain of the Australian cricket team and is a Swisse ambassador.

How would you spend the perfect summer day? An early-morning walk on the beach with my family, followed by swimming in our pool with the kids, and have friends around for an afternoon barbecue.

Where do you usually spend summer months? For the past 20 years I’ve been fortunate to spend the summer months travelling around Australia playing cricket.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Spending the school holidays on the north-east coast of Tasmania at my grandparents’ shack, and fishing and playing backyard cricket with anyone who wanted to join in.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? The week of my retirement from Test cricket – having my family and close friends for the week in Perth was something I’ll never forget.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? I’ve always loved taking part in the Boxing Day Test. Watching the tennis now I have spare time. Melbourne is the sporting capital.

seafood lunch with the whole family.

Where do you usually spend summer months? Mainly in Melbourne, although we get away to the Mornington Peninsula or Hamilton Island.

What is one of your happiest summer memories as a child? Holidaying at my pop’s farm in Swan Hill and swinging into the Murray River from a rope tied around a tree.

And what’s your most recent happiest summer memory? Taking Henry to the pool so my hubby and I could have a dip before dinner. Henry was in his pyjamas and ended up swimming in them.

What do you love about Melbourne during the summer? Having dinner outside on the deck at restaurants that overlook the water. Riva in St Kilda has a great view of the bay on one side and the boat ramp on the other. There’s always something amusing to watch.

W riting her first novel was therapeutic for Melbourne author Kate Forster; she turned to fiction writing to alleviate the darkness of depression. Just as helpful

were regular Zumba exercise classes.“Zumba was the thing that really shifted things for

me,” Forster says. “I know it’s terribly daggy, but it gave me the final lift to feeling better. I’d get a massive endorphin hit. It was all about music and dancing, not exercise.”

While Zumba remains a hobby, writing has become more serious for Forster, who has become a bestselling author in Britain, with Hollywood showing interest in turning her first book, The Perfect Location (Penguin) into a movie.

She is also writing four books in a teen romance series and co-created a concept for a television series with the actor Sigrid Thornton. Forster’s second novel, Seduction, is out this month.

It’s been a long journey. Three years ago the 41-year-old was so stricken by depression that she was unable to get out of bed for days on end and spent a year recovering from the illness.

“My mum, who is a fairly no-nonsense sort of person, rang me one day and I told her I was really unwell, and she said, ‘Why don’t you just go for walk?’.

“I said, ‘Mum I haven’t showered for about four days, I’m living on Diet Coke and cigarettes and I can’t get out of bed, so I’m not sure how I can fit a walk into that routine’.”

It was Forster’s third, and most debilitating depressive episode. “It was real dark-night-of-the-soul stuff,” she says. “It took a long time to get well this last time, and part of doing that was that I had to change my life.”

Psychiatric therapy, medication and significant life changes finally helped Forster climb out of the “dark cave” she was living in.

“You can’t trust your mind when you’re depressed; you need another person to check in with – for me that

writingthe wrongwas my psychiatrist. She told me to find something that wasn’t about my children, my home, my marriage or my previous job (running an advertising agency), something completely and utterly creative.

“For some people that’s painting or gardening. For me it was writing.”

And despite the fact that her writing quickly turned from hobby to profession after she sent the first few chapters of The Perfect Location to a literary agent, Forster says she still enjoys it.

“Writing never really feels all that much like work, especially the contemporary women’s fiction I write, which is so fast paced. I just get caught up in it.”

Despite the whirlwind of success that has engulfed her and the current relief from depression, Forster is well aware that she needs to work on staying well.

“I don’t think depression ever really goes. It’s a chronic condition and I have good days and bad days, but I will never let myself go back to the dark place again.”

She still sees her psychiatrist occasionally and follows a writing schedule the therapist helped her formulate.

“It’s a very regimented routine that really works for me – I’m a bit like a baby with a laptop,” she says, laughing.

Understanding the personal triggers for depression is also important.

“I know that I have to eat well, get enough sleep, do some exercise to stay well and avoid the things that mess with my head,” she says.

This can include not spending time with negative people. “I’ve become very protective about the people I spend time with now.”

Forster also looks for inspiration from other depression sufferers.

“I read that Martha Stewart doesn’t own a dressing gown because, being prone to depression, she finds if she gets up, (goes) straight into the shower, then dresses and makes the bed, at least she has achieved something for the day. I try to do the same.”

Forster is also inspired by Eat, Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, who is reported to have spent time after the huge success of her book just digging in her vegetable garden and who was quoted as saying that she just wanted a “bigger, smaller life”.

“That has become my mantra. I have all these amazing things happening, but I just want a bigger, smaller life too. I can be walking around the house with a cup of coffee or watering the garden and I will appreciate those moments. It’s such a relief from rushing all the time when I had a so-called fabulous life.”

She has also learnt to take more time for herself and to encourage her two teenage children to be more self-reliant.

“Women are always doing the supportive stuff in families, but sometimes you just have to say, ‘I can’t hold this all together for you all, all the time. I have to take some time to take care of myself too’.” \

B efore 21 pigs gave up their lives to test the way different fabrics decompose, fashion designer Pia Interlandi became a funeral celebrant.

“We couldn’t use humans because the Anatomy Act doesn’t allow it, so it had to be pigs,” Interlandi explains. “I thought, I’m not going cope very well with these animals dying on my behalf so, in order to give them a good send-off and to prepare myself emotionally, I decided to become a funeral celebrant.”

The experiment culminated in a couture collection with a difference. Interlandi’s soon-to-be launched Garments for the Grave label is a capsule collection of mix-and-match burial garments designed to return to earth along with the wearer.

It’s the genesis of an idea that formed as she dressed her paternal grandfather for his funeral. “Doing up his leather shoes, I thought, ‘why does he need these? It’s not as if he’s going anywhere’.”

Interlandi, 27, was studying fashion when she first began experimenting with dissolvable garments as a means of exploring life’s transience, ultimately creating a fabric so fragile that if you accidentally sneezed on it holes would appear. This became the basis of the Kew designer’s PhD project examining eco-fashion for the end of life and beyond.

The pig experiment – created by Interlandi and forensic entomologist Professor Ian Dadour, who has used the development of insects on corpses

to determine the time of death in more than 200 homicide cases – allowed each to investigate clothing decay from their own unique perspective, by burying and disinterring animals at 50-day intervals.

“We used cellulosic, which is a plant-based material, then a protein and a synthetic,” Interlandi reveals. “The plant-based material breaks down quite quickly first, then the protein. The synthetics remained after the year – you could just give them a

quick rinse off and they’d be good to go.”Accordingly, Garments for the Grave are

made mainly of hemp, with silk for edging, binding and details within the garment.

“I’d originally wanted everything to decompose, but some people have been quite interested in the idea that you

incorporate an element of the design that remains with the skeleton,” she says.

“So I offer embroidery with synthetics. So you can embroider a name, a poem or a family tree – anything you like that will essentially remain and tell a story about this person should they ever be recovered.”

Interlandi, who was first identified as one to watch by Monument magazine, which designated the RMIT student as one of the top 40 design graduates of 2007, is now beginning to attract international attention.

She is almost midway through a six-month stint as resident dresser for Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground in the UK. The Surrey centre is one of 260 natural burial sites in Britain, where green

“I had no idea I would be doing this five years ago. I was making arty-farty fashion that no one could really wear,” Interlandi says, laughing.

“People often ask, ‘when did you go weird?’, so I have done a bit of thinking about it. I think maybe it was always there. We went through a whole lot of family videos recently and there’s me as a three-year-old sitting on a friend’s grandma’s lap and I am just staring at her face, patting her face totally intrigued, and asking, ‘why have you got cracks in your face?’.

“I think one of the reasons I can do what I am doing is that I am at ease with the idea of dying.

“It has been only recently we have become so uptight about death and fearful of it. There is nothing to be scared about with a dead body and there are actually a whole lot of things you can involve the family in that will make the process more cathartic and wholesome, that will help a lot with the grieving. That’s what I try to facilitate.”

Interlandi’s dream as a new-age death practitioner

is to return from Britain and open a “deathing centre”. “I see it as a place where people can come to die in a very safe and tailor-made environment where we facilitate the family to do everything for themselves.

“In birthing centres you have beautiful big beds so the partner can be there. It is the same thing in

opposition. It’s like what midwives do leading someone into birth, but leading someone out

of life.”As to where they go, Interlandi

is content to wait until she gets her own answer.

“The whole idea that the body goes back into the ground, is reabsorbed and becomes other life forms, I think there is

absolute romance in that.“But as far as the soul, I’m happy not to

know. I consider myself agnostic.“I really don’t know about walking on lotus

leaves, but I’m open to whatever happens.” \

DEAD CAN DANCEIt’s been an awfully long wait for

fans keen to see this dynamic duo in action. It’s been more than 20 years since

they were last on Australian shores and 16 years since their last studio release. It’s taken the release of their new studio album, Anastasis, and a gig at the Sydney Opera

House to bring them to Melbourne, and as far as reviews go, it’s well been worth the wait.

A smart three-level black-and-white building has replaced a nondescript intrusion from the 1950s, which had replaced a 19th-century mansion: the story

of much of St Kilda and Elwood.The recently completed building contains three

townhouses. Its complex form is in sharp contrast to nearby blocks of flats. This reduces its impact on a quiet precinct.

This townhouse, at the northern corner, faces west and overlooks one of Melbourne’s hidden treasures.

Three-level townhouses are rare in this area. Even rarer is the positioning of the main bedroom on the top level and other bedrooms at ground level.

A double garage and a stair hall face the street.The garage, with its finished walls and floors, could

provide a teenager’s party place. With more decorous lighting fixtures and industrial carpet, it could have many more uses.

At the rear of the ground floor, two bedrooms look out to a manicured garden: a 3000-litre tank is genteelly screened.

Serving these bedrooms is a bathroom that is fitted out to the same level of luxury as the cloak room and the main bathroom: no hieratical pattern of fitting and finishes. It’s all black granite and toughened glass here.

The laundry is what an older generation expected: room and a door to close. It’s now called a Euro laundry but, with a return to times past, it could be called a wash house.

Two flights lead to upper levels. The treads and riders (no nosings) are French oak: the balustrade toughened glass.

The first flight leads to the second level, given over entirely to cooking, dining and just sitting.

The kitchen joinery typifies today’s standards demanded (and the high costs resulting).

Benchtops are white CaesarStone, the doors and drawers (self-closing) are 2pac matt white.

Flooring is French oak, granite tiles or carpet but the occupants may supply colour in soft furnishings and paintings. It’s all very black-and-white.

A neat cloak room, tucked behind the pantry, adds to the amenity of this space.

Sliding metal doors open to a generous terrace. Southern and northern windows are artfully screened to protect neighbours’ privacy.

Up to the top floor and a luxurious suite.A second west-facing terrace gives a spectacular view

from the bedroom. A walk-through dressing room, lined both sides with full-height cupboards, leads to another black-and-white bathroom.

This one has a tub, two basins and a generous shower, shielded by a single floor-to-ceiling glass panel. Here, windows and rooflights provide outlook, light and view, without upsetting neighbours (and a caring council).

Entry security can identify callers by colour television. Ducted heating and cooling is backed up by a separate ducted exhaust system serving kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. A ducted vacuum system serves all areas and appliances are of a revered German brand.

Double-glazed windows, roof and wall insulation give this elegant, luxurious dwelling a high conservation rating.

Its greatest amenity is its position – opposite St Kilda Botanical Gardens. Established in 1859, this was once called Blessington Street Gardens but renamed in 1957.

In recent years the gardens, with their spectacular conservatory and quaint information centre, has been carefully revived and now, because of its position, one block back from main roads, it is relatively unknown but a beautiful, well-used local treasure.

The area’s streets are well planted with mature plane trees.It is served by a group of shops that appeared after the

construction of the cable-tram services along Chapel Street and Brighton Road.

The steam powerhouse that drove the cables for the two routes is now a drive-in bottle shop. \

Natural light, functional floor plan and convenient location make this property attractive. Small families and locals looking to downsize comprised most of the crowd at its first open-for-inspection. The semi-detached residence is 12 years old and there’s space for two cars in the sailcloth-shaded driveway. Boss James Reserve is one minute’s walk and Thomas Park and Hampton Street shopping strip

are nearby. Entry is via an elevated timber deck and the hallway has blond timber floorboards. Two carpeted bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and floor-to-ceiling windows precede the central living room, which is open to the hallway through full-height cutaways. The main bathroom has terracotta floor tiles, a pedestal vanity and a bath/shower combo. Next up, the main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a double-vanity en suite. The airy open-plan kitchen, dining and family area adjoins the rear deck through concertina glass doors. With its proximity to parks, the rear deck and courtyard suffices admirably for on-site fresh-air enjoyment. \ KAY KEIGHERY

For some artists, a blank canvas can be just about anything. In the case of Melbourne painter, sculptor and ceramicist Greg Irvine, it seems his own home

has served that purpose for many years.An ornate stencil running the length of this

late-1880s weatherboard property in the middle of South Melbourne is the only clue betrayed by the façade to the one-of-a-kind interiors.

The open-plan living and dining area is a veritable art gallery underfoot, with floors of rustic timber boards, patterned polished concrete and mosaicked ceramics defining the spaces, rather than walls.

Considering the structure of the house remains as it was almost 150 years ago, it’s a surprise to find this inner-city dwelling filled with plenty of natural light.

Pressed-metal cabinet doors are an artistic addition to the kitchen, which also features a vintage Eureka oven and gas cooktop.

Two bedrooms are to one side of the central living area and have built-in wardrobes and plenty of shelves.

Pressed metal makes another appearance in the main bathroom, as does an intricate stencil design dancing across the walls and claw-foot bath.

The L-shaped house wraps itself around a secluded courtyard at the rear. The vibrantly mosaicked concrete floor is a final flourish to this very personal, work of art. \ JO DAVY

An architect-designed extension and renovation to this 1930s residence have produced a fusion of period and contemporary spaces. Interior styling is

individual, ample storage is cleverly integrated and the rear deck is big and barbecue-friendly.

Automatic gates and a brick-paved off-street parking area precede the semi-detached façade. The first bedroom has built-in wardrobes while the larger, second bedroom has a fireplace, a ceiling fan and deco ceiling detail.

Timber floor-to-ceiling storage is a feature of the hall and also makes an appearance in the main bedroom. This bedroom also has a modern en suite and glass doors to the deck.

A home office is a bonus in a residence of this era, and this one offers a nifty version with built-in desk and shelves.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area has pale timber floors. Two fully glazed walls ensure plenty of natural light. More of that timber-fronted finish is used in kitchen cabinetry, providing a cool contrast

with white Corian benchtops.In the living zone, a pebbled gas fireplace fits

below a recess for a flat-screen TV.The L-shaped deck extends from the main

bedroom across the north-facing rear of the property. There’s plenty of room here for family and friends, and a lawn bodes well for ball games.

Caulfield South Primary School is across the road and Princes Park is within easy strolling distance adding to the family-friendly amenities to be found nearby. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Built 120 years ago, this house is as rich with personality as it is with history. It was the principal residence of South Melbourne ruckman Fred “Skeeter” Fleiter in the 1920s. An extra two bedrooms and one bathroom were added in the extension 10 years ago, resulting in the ideal family house only a stone’s throw from the beach.Period features such as ceiling roses, high ceilings and an arch over the hallway

are scattered throughout, beginning with the two bedrooms at the front of the house. Both have fireplaces. A study or optional bedroom is opposite another bedroom, which has a built-in wardrobe.The hallway opens up to the large, combined living, kitchen and meals space. A small sitting room with a fireplace is off to the side. Entry into the extension, which wraps around a small courtyard, is in the far corner. Here, splashes of blue create the main distinction between the design of the original structure and the new area. The bedroom on the top level has a balcony that looks out to the quiet street below. \ ELIZABETH ANILE
