About the host
Hosted by Josh Kallsen
I am a small business owner and outdoor hobbyist. I have two adult daughters. I enjoy helping others and volunteering. I also enjoy connecting with others and building relationships.
Why they chose this property
I instantly fell in love with the quiet and peaceful neighborhood the first time that I visited. This is a private road so there is very little traffic. The neighbors are the sweetest and the wildlife is abundant. When this home became available, I knew I had to snag it, especially after realizing it needed some love. I had fun restoring this home while introducing a modern flair. I hope you love staying in our home and enjoy the community as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
I love how close we are to everything but yet it is so peaceful and quiet. The sunsets are often beautiful and the private back yard is such a nice place to relax.
