V.1.3
The dilapidated building that stood on enright avenue, just a little bit north of the Central West
end, had been vacant for over 20 years. homeowners Tiffanie and Walter Walton saw past its
broken spirit and hollow hallways to ensue their vision. it was the beginning of many soulful
Sundays, Merry Christmases, and birthday bashes for years to come. They brought the 118 year
old house back to life by preserving much of the original charm, such as the hardwood flooring,
the brick fireplace, and the original doorframes, all of which provide foundation for the place that
they call home. four levels, almost 5000 square feet of open space (including a basement), and
12 foot ceilings, leave plenty of room to entertain guests. They have two children, Sean, 17, and
Kyran, 8, who are quietly tucked away on the top level that's nicknamed "The Third World", an area
that was initially sealed off and rented out as an apartment back in the 80's. When asked what
was their favorite part of the house, Walter replied "The deck out back. i can play my music and
drink a beer while i fire up the grill." While, Tiffanie replied, "The kitchen. i love to sit around the
island and chill with friends." The homeowners are a social duo who have hosted everything from
a housewarming which consisted of a live band and over 200 guests, down to quiet dinner parties
for close friends and family.
