Sometimes it takes two auctions to empty a 10,000 sq. ft. home. This first auction will consist of everything on the first floor - from a massive Great Room filled with artwork, studio art glass, miniature collectibles and fun furniture, to an even larger kitchen whose cabinets were packed with great small appliances and cookware. In the dining room sits a nearly 10 foot long dining table, an Asian bar cabinet and a fantastic selection of barware.
