When this family of three fell in love with their cozy, established neighborhood they decided to turn their starter home into a place they could all enjoy for years.
Shelley Breen, member of Point of Grace, and her husband, David, moved into their 1969 ranch nearly 20 years ago. “We kind of always viewed it as our starter house,” Shelley admits, “but we really just fell in love with our neighbors.” So instead of moving to a bigger house the couple decided to remodel, adding on a little extra living space and renovating the kitchen to create a beautiful, functional home where they and daughter Caroline could grow—without giving up the neighborhood friends they’d grown to consider family.
