Katie and Darien love the lifestyle aspect of their
renovated home. While Darien’s adult children
have their own wing downstairs, the family can
come together on the indoor-outdoor first floor
- and the parents have their retreat at the top.
The renovation has also been a huge success for
their young boys. “We don’t need to get out of
the house any more to entertain them,” says
Katie. “There is so much to do here.”
