Best Ivy-Covered Wall

801 Park Blvd.

The house at 801 Park Blvd. will send shivers up your spine. Not the shivers of today's blockbuster thrillers, not even those shivers born in nightmares. This stone-walled, ivy-covered home creates shivers that were cooked in the witch's oven before she tried to bake Hansel and Gretel. Shivers that Little Red Riding Hood felt when she realized who was posing as her grandmother. It is a picture imagined in the minds of children as they read the horrific fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Ivy crawls from the base of the looming oak tree out front, which stretches its curving arms across the length of the house, to the front wall of the structure, attaching itself to the shutters, and jumps almost to the front door positioned on the silo of the castlelike wonder. Well-kept it may be, but this extraordinary home poses the question: Is it really a fairy tale?
