I can provide a little insight on the Jarrard St house - the 2010 owner was a bachelor who purchased the home from a flipper/developer couple that went on to do a beautiful job of renovating the old home on the corner of Belmont/Wroxton (approx 2992 Wroxton). I dated said bachelor for about a year, and our first date was the day he closed on the Make Me Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720713067268747441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-922760901705441583.post-67385860870240576942016-10-24T17:46:34.754-05:002016-10-24T17:46:34.754-05:00I love, love, love this post!
