But they looked past the curved terrace and the pink marble floor and thought they could transform the structure into a clean-
Modern houses full of contemporary art.
They moved out of their neat house and into 6,800-square-foot time warp.
Deborah is still surprised by the size.
\"We didn\'t realize there were 44 doors.

Said Ron, appreciating the accuracy of the railway.
Some people like curves.
Everyone has a taste.

Deborah, who owns a commercial property management company, admitted: \"We have no experience with fish . \".

\"We know we\'re going to put something there, ceramic, glass or [Dale]Chihuly bowl.
Then we priced Chihulys and knew we didn\'t put one there, \"said Ron, a board member at Otis College of Art and Design.
\"When you look up from the entrance, the fish tank is so dramatic that we need something to support the show,\" Deborah said . \".
\"We have it.

\"This is a place that makes me very happy,\" said Ron . \"
\"I get excited every time I drive to the house.
Then I went up the stairs and saw Deborah in the living area, I looked out the window and thought how far I was from the city.
