Welcome to “Gran’s house”. This home is a treasure to our family, as well as to the community of Bullard. Once the home of our beloved grandmother, town matriarch, and the small town’s physician. She served as a caring and loyal family doctor for over 50 years. The main highway in town is even named in her honor, Dr. Marjorie Roper Parkway. We hope that you feel as welcomed and at peace while visiting “grandmom’s home”, just as we always have.
The space:
The interior of the home is adorned with timely pieces of furniture and decorations, each with its own story. This home provides a warm and inviting atmosphere. Some amenities may be a little dated from a lifetime of love, but our hope is that you feel like you’re stepping into a nostalgic haven, reminiscent of the comforting embrace of Grandma’s house.
