Lives in Durham, Pennsylvania
My wife, Jennifer and I purchased the 1880 gothic Victorian home and guest house in May of 2018. We continue to host the cottage on Airbnb, as the previous owner did. It has been a fun experience, and we have met great people from places far and wide. I am a transplant from Great Britain, and Jenn grew up just down the road. We are very knowledgeable about this beautiful and historic area, and are happy to provide information and recommendations.
