Our downsizing dreams have finally come to fruition! Last month, I moved our family into a new home! Today, I’m showing you around the new digs. Here’s the full tour of our 1920s bungalow in all her uncluttered glory!

When we first viewed this house, we knew immediately that we wanted to make it our home. To be clear, though, it wasn’t actually the house itself that made us fall in love. It was the location of the house.

THE LOCATION

The location is absolutely perfect! The home is located within walking distance of many of our favorite restaurants and the community’s best playground and dog park. The house is also just a block away from a main MTA bus line stop, making transportation for our family more accessible than ever before!

So far, we even love our neighbors. This community is highly walkable and most houses have large front porches, making this a front porch community. That means our neighbors are often accessible and our home lives extend beyond our front doors. (read more about what makes front porch communities really awesome here)

The result? We’ve only been in this home a couple weeks and we’ve already hosted a large (but casual) neighborhood gathering! I’ll be writing more about this in the coming months, but for now, I’ll tell you this – hosting a Sunday Funday is our favorite activity. It’s incredibly fun (as the name implies) and it’s easy for us to do, even in this small home, because we are able to extend our gathering outdoors.

Hosting this little social with our neighbors has helped us feel like real members of a community. Even though we’ve been in this home less than a month, we’ve met many of our new neighbors and our daughter has made friendships easily through this casual hosting approach! We love it!
