Why they chose this property
I was drawn to the North Shore Triangle for its peaceful, tree-lined streets and the trails that whisk you to Notre Dame in minutes. But this one had something extra. The backyard instantly stole my heart—shaded, serene, and blooming with perennials, it’s a space that invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Inside, the thoughtful layout makes hosting easy and comfortable, with charming privacy doors that quietly separate sleeping areas from the buzz of the main living space. It’s a home that balances beauty with function—and it just feels good to be in.
