AN INTERVIEW WITH THE HOMEOWNER
We had no plans on moving from We never thought of a pool.
our old house (just a few blocks We joined the country club a
away) until we saw that this was few doors down and swam
coming on the market. We knew there. The children did sailing,
we loved the neighborhood and swimming, diving and tennis
that we were going to need more lessons. Being so close, they
space soon. We jumped on were able to walk.
buying it even though the house
was small & needed a lot of
updating. The size of the lot is
large for the neighborhood, For living down by the water we
double what we had down the have a nice size yard. The boys
street in Marvin Beach. We also had a fenced in back yard to
love the neighborhood … it’s the play in. Many lacrosse games
best for taking walks and riding took place in the back yard,
bikes around. You can be at the especially after Easter Dinner
park or the beach in a few with the cousins, which quickly
minutes! became a family tradition.
Soon after buying we realized the
project was bigger than we
thought, & decided it would be
easier to build the exact home we
wanted. We began building what
we called the "we might has well"
house. The garage was made
longer so our Surburban would fit
inside, which made our daughters
room bigger. We added 2 gas
fireplaces & added a gas starter to
the one wood burning fireplace to
help ignite faster. Once we began
planning the kitchen we added
another dishwasher and subzero
drawers so drinks were separate.
We enjoyed watching our plans
come to life.
