Our historic 140 year old home is a minutes walk to Downtown Flushing

Sylwia and I met in Oslo Norway in the Winter of 2014 and date for three years before marrying in March of 2017. I grew up just around the corner at 122 N. McKinley street and know the neighborhood very well. Graduating high school from Flushing and eventually moving away to San Antonio, Texas where we make our home.

Sylwia grew up in Wolsztyn, Poland and moved to Wroclaw, Poland for 30 years going to College, raising a family before becoming adventurous moving to Norway were we met.

Since moving away from Flushing coming back for family events and reunions if we didn't stay at my Mothers new home in Flint we had to stay at hotels in Flint away from Flushing making it difficult to spend time with friends. Originally I had the idea of purchasing a Condo to rent to friends and classmates that may want to stay in Flushing too. A few years ago a very good friend purchased the home down the street at 129 N. McKinley for him and his family with the same idea as I (I actually found the house and provided the information to my friend!).

First looking at Condominiums from my original idea it became apparent the association agreement were not friendly to setting up a VRBO so then search for a property within walking distance to downtown.

Growing up in this neighborhood in home located around the corner at 122 N. McKinley street from 1960 I really wanted to purchase that home if possible but the owner was reluctant to sell. After finding a property close to St. Roberts that we really wanted fell through, unbelievably this property became available and made the purchase!

It is just so nice to have this property so close to the home I grew up in and still be in the neighborhood where myself and friends knew where every fruit tree and raspberry patch were located! Such beautiful memories and so close to my childhood friends VRBO two houses down the street.

We now have home to come to for family and friends gatherings for a couple of weeks a year and be able to share with my friends or people from across the world that would like to enjoy Flushing too!

Hope you enjoy our home, family photos and our pictures from Iceland through the house!
