YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! ----- A FINAL REFLECTIVE NOTE ON THIS HOME: Buyers often ask me to let them know when I get a listing in the original section of Williamsburg Village - built in the early-to-mid 1950s - and constructed by Lambourne (who used brick-and-block construction, high-quality hardwood floors, and multiple fireplaces). Here's your opportunity!
