Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Rich and Karen are just the third family to own this historic home. Its history is found in every room, including those we've renovated. We bought this as a family vacation home when our kids were young, and would make regular visits from "downstate". Now we are pleased to share it with others.
Why the Owner Chose Alden
Alden is an ideal get-away, a small town with features we've come to enjoy -- friendly shop owners and stores and nature trails and Torch Lake shoreline to explore.
