The O’Sullivans have lived in their house since 2005. The home, built in 1969, has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Features include central air-conditioning, a two-car garage and a wood-burning fireplace. The O’Sullivans updated the kitchen with a tile backsplash and new flooring and counters, and did similar work in one of the bathrooms. Donna said of the home’s appeal:

“When we were looking for a house, it was important to me that we lived on a quiet street. This is a quiet street, and we have the best neighbors. The property is a half-acre, and we have woods in the back.

"My husband needed a man cave, so the den is on one side of the house, and the formal living room is on the other. So we each have our space. We have a formal dining room and French doors that lead out to a screened-in gazebo."
