In the spring of 2014 we decided to start looking for a new home.
A place that needed a little work.
A home with maybe a little more space in the yard.
We found it on Albert Road. A little 1950’s house with a huge and beautiful front yard with grass and oaks perfectly placed for twinkle lights and dinner parties. The house needed A LOT of work. And our offer wasn’t accepted. We were sad until we came to the conclusion that there was something better waiting for us — we could feel it. We just hadn’t found it yet.
A week later a house lowered it’s asking price and showed up in my search for the first time.
It was way better.
And needed less work… which is to say, that it wasn’t a tear-down.
It had more land… an acre more. 1.2 acres of possibilities with a cute 1,300 square foot 1955 ranch on it.
And that’s where we find ourselves today — on Leo Street.
Albert’s cousin Leo.
This is the story of the renovation of Leo, so that we have a record of this crazy adventure.
