Our House and Neighborhood
Our Home
Three and a half years ago after much research and looking we found our home. We loved our home since the moment we saw it, it is so warm and inviting. The floor plan is open, spacious and bright. We believe it is the perfect set-up to raise a family. It is a one level ranch with three bedrooms, a living room, family room, kitchen and a nice sized fenced in back yard. We like to decorate our home with lots of photos of family and friends.
The Baby Ducks at the Park by Our Home
We are very close to the city, just a train ride away. We are also very close to lots of beaches, trails and beautiful parks. We have the most beautiful park less than 10 minutes from our home that has a great swing set/jungle gym, picnic area and large fenced in zoo with lots of animals that you can feed. Our local library has wonderful programs for toddlers and children.
There are a lot of young children in our neighborhood. You always see them riding bikes, playing ball, or making villages with chalk on the driveways. On Halloween the streets are filled with tons of trick or treaters. Our doorbell never stops ringing.
