Eddie, that's a nice house you lived in. I've heard the style referred to as "Storybook Cottage".

The view of this house from the front is deceiving. The driveway went down hill to the detached garage. So what you see from the front is the top floor. The basement/ground floor is below. I guess kind of like a split level. The ceilings in the living room and dining room, which were the two rooms in the front of the house were 12 feet high. We always had a huge Christmas tree in the front window, that my Dad would have delivered. My parents needed to use a stepladder to decorate it. And we always had that old fashioned tin tinsel on it, the kind that you saved and used year to year. I have such wonderful memories of living there.
Apparently, the current owners must love it too, they’ve been living there for 44 years.

Eddie, I love the house. It reminds me of similar types of houses around Rice University.
Heck when I watch Lucy I often wonder what it would have been like living in that time. I even miss the 70's and early 80's. I watch commercials on youtube from my childhood and it takes me back to a much simpler time.
