709 Cumberland is currently for sale. We attended the open house and were able to admire many original details such as lighting, dining room cabinetry and a curious nook in the hallway, as well as radiators and a beautiful old stove. While there, we heard a contractor inquiring to the realtor about lot dimensions. No doubt, this cute historic home is doomed unless someone saves it.
