I'm guessing you don't mind STAIRS from the look of it.

Totally worth it if you have a nice view looking out.

(I used to live "on the side of a cliff" with 35 steps up to the front door. I didn't mind the climbing., the wife.?... not so much

).

Fortunately, this is the back of the house (which indeed has a great view, to the South & West, of the Gwynns Falls valley--nothing but forest as far as you can see.) Our front door is street level but our tenants on the 2nd & 3rd floor do have some stairs to climb.

Exactly as I remember it from 1955, Nick (Also, watching my siblings lean over the rail at the very top and anticipating life as an only child.)

Hehe, well I don't know about 1955 but I don't think it changed much indeed

The irony is that I'm living 500 meters away but I never go to the top because of vertigo (this and the never-ending lines of tourists

)
