** This post was intended as a way to provide details on our house and community for possible home exchange. We went on home exchange to Europe in 2007 and plan to do it again in the future.
Our home was built in 1920 and has 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. It can sleep six people. It is around 2000 square feet. Three years ago the home was completely remodeled keeping its old fashioned character. We have a large backyard with a swing set, slide and sandbox and also a small vegetable garden. Our home has two living rooms and an office in the upstairs guest room.
We live on a fairly quiet residential street, just a five minute walk from the center of our small town. We enjoy walking to the coffee shop in town for a morning bagel and coffee or into the old fashioned - one screen - movie theater in the evenings to catch a movie.
We have one cat named Skeleton who spends most days outside although does like to come inside in the afternoon if you let him. He does not need to come in if you'd prefer not to. Tirza's mother owns the house next door and lives there with her husband Chip. They are in their late 50's and will be helpful in giving directions, telling you about local attractions, etc. All the neighbors are very friendly.
We also have a car that can seat 7 people that we would consider exchanging.
We are non-smokers and don't permit smoking in our home.
