Why it’s for sale. Jill, 32, is a stay-at-home mother, and Michael, 32, is an ironworker. They have one child, 2, and are expecting another in June. They want to move farther east to be closer to family. “With a new baby coming, we will need a little more help,” Jill says.
The Borgias bought their 1941 Cape in 2005. They
added “a beautiful [paver] patio as well as a new roof
.
.
. [and] we knocked down walls to open the dining and kitchen areas,” Jill says.
The house has three second-floor bedrooms and a full bath plus an additional bedroom and full bath
in the finished basement.
The house is
on a 60-by-100-foot lot “on a very quiet block,” Jill says. “All the homes in the area face a path. This allows us to have our daughter play outside without worry of cars [driving by]
.
.
. [and] it builds a strong sense of community,” she says.
Jill adds: “The house is very clean and in move-in condition
.
.
. T
here are oak floors throughout
.
.
. [The house]
has plenty of storage space and natural light
.
.
. The living room has a fireplace [and the room] faces the path so it’s very private
.
.
. [and] one of the second-floor bedrooms has a sitting-room area that we use as a home office.”
