Home Owner Cat Miller, Host of the local WNY TV show Passionate Living, shares some of her own story at 726 Ashland Ave: “I moved back to my hometown of Buffalo from sunny California, to raise my beloved niece. This home had all we desired— and more. My niece had ample space to grow up and thrive. Later, my elderly mom moved in with me. She was delighted by her own living space— with a bathroom, laundry facilities, kitchenette, and warm, bright studio. Soon after…. My young adult son was in a space of transition—and moved back home. He found his own happy-place in the third floor living space, complete with bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. We shared some beautiful years together on Ashland. Many memories are etched in this home...
Now, life has moved on. My niece has grown up. My mom has moved in with her caretaker. And my son has purchased his own home. It’s time for me to write a new story….”
