""The couple had been living with Hannah's parents for three years while searching for a house to purchase, but the competitive market wasn't yielding much luck. One day, they saw their dream home - a two-bedroom 1840s house with loads of charm - pop up on their real estate portal. Unfortunately, it was snatched up before they could even request a tour.""
""We loved the exposed beams, original windows, and wide plank flooring. It was really well-maintained but just needed some tender loving care and personality," Hannah says. "We didn't want a turnkey home and knew this house would be the perfect balance of modern comfort but also room for improvement, so we could move in right away and slowly work on it over time.""
They lived with Hannah's parents for three years while searching for a home. A two-bedroom 1840s house with exposed beams, original windows, and wide plank flooring briefly appeared online and sold, but the original deal collapsed and the couple quickly toured and submitted an offer that was accepted within two days. The house required tender loving care and personalization rather than full turnkey renovations. The move-in was smooth and the couple met the previous owner. Over two years they completed multiple projects, documented progress on TikTok, and transformed the property into a cozy, unique home that pleased neighbors.
