A message from Don Cleaver:

"This gorgeous three story home was built by Cleaver Construction on an existing foundation. We worked with the homeowners as the prior home was demolished and replaced with this new, modern home. The kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, master bathroom, master balcony, and numerous other rooms have an excellent view of the harbor."
