We are friends of Leith and Leslie and recently stopped through Magnolia to view the house and stay the night. The pictures of this house do not do it justice. The original well-preserved light switches, door handles, hinges, wood carvings, and intricate glass windows are just extravagant. This house would sell for around $350,000 where we come from. This is a steal of a deal. Wish we could buy it. (0:
