About the host
Hosted by Marianna Bailey
I am originally Italian but confuse many because I grew up in England and then moved to the USA when I married the ever lovely and evergreen Larry. Five children and 3 dogs later, we are almost empty nesters, and are moving into a different phase of our lives. We have sold our little farm in Oregon, and have moved to Nauvoo full time. After visiting, I realized that these were my people. I bought a house, and then another - one to live in and one to rent out. We are local so can usually handle issues in real time.
Why they chose this property
Why this property? Well Nauvoo is the short answer. And then there is the river and the farming community and the fact that everyone is on first name terms. Mostly it is a peaceful and calm place that is full of great beauty. This home is in the process of emerging butterfly-like from its neglected cocoon. It really does have great bones so watch this space as it emerges!
What makes this property unique
It is what I consider walking distance to all the lovely historical bits with the added benefit of being across the road from the Dollar General or Casey's for when you have to satisfy an uncontrollable ice cream craving. For an old house it is very spacious- nothing pokey here - so you really can spread out and find a corner to yourself to read or catch up on email or knit or whatever your heart desires when you have a bit of down time.
