“I had some family here, and we really enjoyed the changes of the seasons during the middle part of the year,” explains Johnson. When the couple’s realtor showed them their future home in the fall of 2020, it was as if everything was just falling into place.
“We actually saw the home before it ever went on the market. We knocked on the door and said that we were interested and asked the owner to not sell it to anyone else,” says Koch. “We are into the mid-century modern style, but a lot of the homes in the area would have needed some substantial work to bring them up to where they needed to be, not to mention the maintenance that comes with older homes. This home had just been renovated and was essentially move-in ready, which was a big appeal.”
And just like that, the couple had found a home where they could bring their mid-century modern vision to life without the time commitment of a brand-new build or a renovation.
