This was Steve’s first home on 40 Acton Road back in 1983. And as the baby of 5, he slept in a crib by the front door. 😆

In 2014, the house hit the market, where the then owners also kept a baby crib by the front door!!

Fast forward to today, it’s now student housing for 4 ambitious ladies attending SHU + double majoring. Funny enough, their Christmas stocking still hang from the mantel, just as Steve’s did back in 1983.

FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. ⭕️😮 . .
Oh, if these walls could talk, the stories they’d tell! ✨

When looking to buy a house the rain is your best friend. 🌧️🌧️

1⃞ is there any standing water in the basement?
2⃞ do the downspouts drain water against the foundation of the house?
3⃞ does the sump pump properly?
4⃞ the does runoff create yard erosion?
5⃞ do the gutters flow, and are the redirecting rainwater in the right direction?

Some of these can be remedied for under $20, while others can lead to even bigger problems if not addressed right away.

It might not look like much from the outside, but it’s what’s on the inside that matters most. 💟

Behind these walls is the promise of a new beginning; it’s the start of a grieving process that has been long delayed. It’s hope. I pray this new chapter comes with peace and healing. 🤍🕊️
