About This Home

As of April 2019

Once upon a time there was an adorable princess (dog) named Lola. Lola lived with her human in an enchanted cottage nestled in the woods of Newtown. But this cottage was not always enchanted. Lola refused to move in until her owner granted her wish of completely re-doing this home. So her owner set out to make Lola happy and created a stylishly modern oasis. He did everything that she asked of him including: a new roof, new electric water heater, new electric, new plumbing, new half bath, new laundry, new custom cabinetry and honed Carrara marble counter tops in the remodeled kitchen, new custom full bath, new skylights, new stainless steel appliances, Farrow and Ball Lotus wallpaper, Farrow and Ball paint, and the list goes on and on...in other words the house layout was optimized and redesigned, all to Lola's specifications and satisfaction! It was a true transformation, the kind that only happens in an enchanted forest and the wishes of a princess named Lola! Don't miss this delightful home, it is not the kind of home that comes along that often and it certainly will not last. Oh, one last thing, Lola also managed to get the road name changed leading to her enchanted cottage to 2 Freedom Defenders Way, what a Princess!
