Their real estate agent gave his advice: "The house is just one part of the puzzle. Where you live--the neighborhood around you--must also feel like home." And so it was, in 2018, that the buyers found themselves at the steps of this then-neglected home in a nurturing location. They started by refinishing the floors. Then they leveled the yard, planted grapevines, and began updating all the major systems. Next came the basement: a new bedroom, bathroom, and family room. All the plumbing and wiring was replaced; the entire house re-sided; insulation added throughout. In came a new kitchen and air conditioning. The garage was rebuilt, the bathroom remodeled, and backyard upgraded to a retreat. Now it's your turn to stand at the steps--and dream.
