Property Description
They've known each other since the beginning of time- their names unknown until 1932 or so…
She is simply known as 450 and the lesser of the lot known as 446 and together, they settled on Douglas in the fine neighborhood of Port Norfolk. He was a Coastie and she was his mate and together they lived a life they loved until the day came when 446's shell was taken away, but no need to worry his spirit is still there in the sunshine above and the Earth below.
Over the years, side by side they weathered the storms. She in her heyday, a pretty little thing and he, not much to look at- just a road to nowhere - a dynamic duo. Ever the gentleman he lives in her shadows and lets her be the star that she is.
The old gal needs someone to shine her up though- her partner is fine to stay the way he is – he favors the natural and vacant look anyway.
She'll need new eyes and hair do- her bones are good and strong but she'll need some work on her insides – her plumbing is shot and her wires are missing but she's got loads charm and a bigger heart.
She'll take rehab or cash to fix her up- and she knows she's worth it. Her ruby lips open and close with ease but they never really say anything. Mr. Douglas always the gentleman just nods his head with the breeze in agreement.
And now… in this modern era like so many do- they are looking for new parts… and bodies…
450 and 446 Douglas Avenue. Not to be separated, they come as a package deal, always together- maybe it's you that can bring back the light in their eyes and keep their story going. Call to set up a time to visit the darling couple, they'd love to meet you.
