I am a single mother of two who decided to become involved in rental properties back in 2010. My life revolves around my family and friends. As I have gotten older, I have realized what is important in my world so my family comes first. I love being a host because I am a people person and do enjoy making people's lives just a little easier.

The story about how I came into possession of this illustrious house is a fairy tale. It began in 2018 when I was renovating a home one block over from the Marble house. Naomi and Garrie were the owners of the Marble house and had lived in the house since 1981. She was also an avid walker and would walk around the neighborhood each day for exercise. Every now and then she would stop at the house I was renovating on Jefferson street and admire the work I was doing. The house on Jefferson was riddled with termites and was beginning to fall apart at the foundation but I took it on as a project of love and wanted to make the house livable again. Naomi and her husband had to go live with a daughter in Missouri after Garrie took a tumble from his bike.. Before placing the Marble house on the market, she told my realtor she wanted me to have the house because of the TLC I had poured into the Jefferson house. I was ecstatic and felt very blessed that Naomi and Garrie entrusted me with the care of their home on Marble street. And that is how the house fell into my hands in 2020.

The house was once known as the "tar paper house" in the 1940's. I think the home has character and charm and one can tell when parts of the house were added over time. The second story was added in the 1960's or 1970's. Carpet, central heat & air, and the bathroom were added in the 1980's. I did not change the bones of the house at all. I just updated the electrical, plumbing, ducting, cabinets and hardware and all the sheetrock and ceiling tiles. My next big project is to remove the outside garage and add a beautiful deck on which to grill and chill out.
