The living room has a secret hidden closet straight out of a Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew mystery. The home dates from 1947 so it was to late to hide away bootlegged booze. But beside the fireplace is a bookcase that is hinged as is the wall above it. Hidden behind is a surprisingly deep closet. Just a curious feature of this home. But on to the real feature...

The greater Seminole Heights has taken a beating in the real estate market for nearly 3 years. However, our local print a broadcast media is not reporting what is changing.
