Fred & Lindsay
After being city dwellers for more than 10 years, Fred and Lindsay found themselves ready to try something new in the burbs with their son Freddie and dog Sadie. From small upgrades to the trees out front, a large garden bed in the back, along with adding a nursery and the basement being converted into a large playroom space, Fred and Lindsay made this house their home.
