Mark Maček’s first impression upon seeing a tiny photo of the exterior of this house in the MLS listing was that this looked like a “house.” An archetypal structure, with a gable roof and a homey feeling. Like what you think of when you think of “home.” It’s good he had that initial thought about it, because what they found when they first visited wasn’t exactly dreamy.
