For Emily, Chris, baby Teddy, and their ever-clever pup Indy, this home has been more than just four walls—it’s been the heartbeat of their everyday joy. From tummy time in the nursery to fire pit laughs on the rooftop, they’ve built a life filled with cozy moments, neighborhood strolls, and plenty of reasons to stay just a little longer. As they get ready for their next adventure, they’re sharing what made this house a true home.
