Revisiting a beauty that was 100 years in the making<br />
BY KAREN BRADNER | PHOTOS BY DALE CLARK/ARC PHOTOGRAPHY<br />
Some homes are worth a second look. That’s how Jon Arenstein, the current owner<br />
of a Bexley bungalow felt when he first walked past it over six years ago with his dog,<br />
Mickey. The draw was so strong, that he rang the doorbell and asked the owners to<br />
call him if they ever decided to sell.<br />
That’s also how Florence Murphy felt when she served as a tour guide for the<br />
home in this year’s House and Garden Tour in Bexley. As Housetrends publisher,<br />
Florence had seen a taste of the home Jon and his wife Dianne eventually purchased<br />
in a show preview. But after spending a spring afternoon there, she wanted to share<br />
a bit more of the couple’s charming spaces. ➻<br />
Roof makes a statement<br />
The home was built in 1922 and has a distinctive “Giwa” roof that first caught Jon’s eye. This style of tile roofing originated in Korea.<br />
