“We’ve completely kept the
integrity of our home.

It’s rare that purchasing a new home also means tapping into family history. But that was the case for Leslie Saeta and her husband. “My husband grew up in this house,” Leslie says. “His parents bought in in 1969, and then we bought it from them in 1998.” After three separate renovations and raising three sons in the well-loved space, Leslie still says, “I’m so lucky to live in this house.” Built in 1915, the house inspired Leslie’s blog, My 100 Year Old Home, where she shares her many DIY projects and farmhouse finds.
