Truly extraordinary. "The Flamingo House" was built to be deluxe in Spanish Mediterranean style in 1937-38. In the hope of foiling termites, the walls are thick concrete, the floors are concrete, the stairs are concrete, the roof is concrete tile. It feels rock solid. Acoustics give a level of privacy that few other homes can match. Utility bills are tiny: the average gas and electric bills combined have been a mere $293/month. Fabulously large spaces up and down, 2 living rooms, formal dining, a marble-floor screened porch, and shady brick patios. Rare for Westboro, there are 2 first-floor bedrooms. Each and every one of its 5 bedrooms has its own bath. Arched doors, oak parquet floors, crown moldings, beautiful tile, lovely landscaping. New kitchen 2021, new boiler 2022.
