Favorite thing about the house: The kids would say their favorite thing about the house is the gym. It’s a great place for the kids to hang out and play with friends, especially in the winter. Our favorite part about the house is the open floor plan and the clean and modern feel. We really wanted something different than what we had seen in other homes in Naperville. The team at Charleston really delivered. The kitchen, family room, and screened porch are all connected and open. You feel like you are in all three rooms at the same time.
Favorite thing about Naperville: The people. Naperville has such a tremendous sense of community. It’s a great place to raise a family. We also love walking downtown from our new home. There is so much to do downtown for the whole family.
A family tradition you’d like to share: One of our favorite traditions is cutting down our own Christmas tree every year. The hunt to find the perfect tree and then everyone taking part in cutting it down, brings the family together and gets everyone in the Christmas spirit.
