Lisa Kelley of MacCaro Real Estate offers a home with space, privacy, scenic beauty, and the quality of a true Craftsman home, in a convenient location. The transformation of a two-hundred-year-old building. A new column on local housing issues. A report on real estate sales in the fourth quarter of 2025. Plus, recent sales and gardening columns and a home-cooking recipe.
