We bought the house almost exactly 20 years ago from a heart surgeon. He told us that before him the house had been in the hands of four other doctors and that they’d been the only owners since it was built in 1870. We haven’t checked this fact, but having lived here, my daughter now wants to be a doctor, so we are glad to have continued the pattern. It’s a happy home, and so we formed many fond memories here. I would stay here for good if I were able.’
