Each window's storm and screen have their original raised metal numbering, allowing extraordinary air-tight fits. The Upper-Level windows are custom-designed Pella windows with built-in retractable screens and built-in blinds. The size of the home is grandiose for a bungalow due to the extra length and extra width. Width-wise, the house is built almost lot line to lot line.
