OUR LOVE AFFAIR WITH HOMES (AND EACH OTHER)
What started as an office romance more than twenty years ago has become an enduring love story.
A marriage, three children and a few houses saved later, we're still flirting.
We've called some remarkable period properties home, including a Victorian row house, a Tudor cottage, a turn-of-the-century duplex, a one-hundred-year-old farm house with flower field and Georgian heritage property called Millar House.
