the Madison area home market).\u00a0 Upon the first showing we fell in love.\u00a0 It worked perfectly, and was adapted to most everything we needed.\u00a0 It even included bedroom doors that swung both ways (a feature I had not encountered before).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-577\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a

August, and though there are a few projects we&#8217;d like to do, and a few accessibility features we need to add (primarily a door-assist), we enjoy living in the house.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just a few doors down from my brother and sister-in-law, allowing me to see more of them and my nieces and nephew.\u00a0 Even our cat loves the house.<\/p>\n<p>Moving from the downtown area has proven a bit challenging and quite the change.\u00a0 We used to walk to work, and would frequently go for summer evening strolls downtown on the square.\u00a0 Now we take the bus into work (roughly a 45 minute
