I didn't notice the abandoned road until you mentioned it. Thanks for pointing it out!

That's some Frank Lloyd Wright-level terracing. Love how it fits the slope of the landscape.
The barn is a bit of a surprise; certainly doesn't fit expectations!

With the radio tower behind it, it almost looks like it could be a villain's house from a James Bond movie.

Looks kind of like the house at the end of North by Northwest.

I don't know if it's already been mentioned, but there's a nice house at or near 35 Ahrens that replaced a small bungalow. I might try and grab a picture this afternoon when going to the library as it isn't yet on street view. I think it's a great example of how newer modern architecture can complement and enhance an area.

This house on Ahrens street is quite a departure from the surrounding houses. It is next to a row of town homes. Interesting in it's features and very modern. It is not complimentary to the other homes in my opinion.

I agree, while the overall shape may be somewhat traditional, with its finish and windows it doesn't quite fit in.
Back when we had a house, we had a lot of stained wood outside the house. We learned from that experience that stained wood looks beautiful (to us, at least) but requires significant maintenance to stay looking good. And this house has a LOT of wood.
Another note: there is no attached garage, only a detached one in the back yard. I do give bonus points for that, especially with a 4400 sqft house.
