Welcome, to our small lovely home!
We started our adventure of home ownership in February 2013. This little home was built in 1953 and has the potential for 4 Bedrooms and 2 Baths. We are currently living in just the upstairs, about 850 sqft. We still have lots of work to do to our home, like remodel the whole basement, but with time this place will only get better!
