ARTS & CRAFTS FOR 100 YEARS

The bungalow retained its original integrity, so our upgrades had to follow suit, and last.

- Lisa and Manfred Schon

After we moved to Northville, Michigan, we became intrigued with a blond-brick, Arts & Crafts-style house that Manfred passed on his commute to work. It’s located just outside the city’s historic district. When a for sale by owner sign appeared in the yard one day, we thought it might be a dream come true.

In 2015, our family became the third to occupy the house—and the first who are not relatives of the builder and first owner.
